I visited this CW about 15 years ago as I was traveling across the US. Wonderful people, wonderful organization. The 'staff' live on site and volunteer their time. No one is paid a salary. Money you give to the CW is used to feed and shelter the poorest of poor. The house took me in for the three days I visited, no questions, just became a part of the place for my short stay. It was a memory I will always think fondly of as I look back on my life!
