CRM Saves the County Millions

News 14 recently ran this article on Charlotte Rescue Mission looking for more donors as we fell short of our budget last fiscal year.
While officials say they are not operating in the red yet, it's a trend that they can't afford to let continue.
What was most interesting I think, was the quote from our director of development:

"We save the county and the state millions of dollars every year in taking care of people that cannot work, that have addiction problems, and we bring them into a 12 step Christian recovery program. They leave here as productive citizens,” said E.J. Underwood, director of development for the Rescue Mission.
