Hi - Wonderland truly is wonderful and a true non profit.. we are a strong group of staff/volunteers who are often critized by people asking what we give our money to... so allow me to tell you - we have operated for 4 years and each year we give approx $50,000 in clothing vouchers.. Let me just talk of this year along (it is now July.... 2012. We have paid utility bills for families, paid heating bills, given grocery funds, paid funeral costs, paid Section 8 rents and deposits.. had vehicles fixed, loaned vehicles, paid for 3 camps for families... and also given financial support to individuals and families.. as well as gifting many of the items that are donated to us, paying them forward at no cost. Our clothing voucher program is HUGE and other non profits have our vouchers and THEY pass them along when they see the need. Groups like WIC, Families First, Churches, Schools, Seacoast
