Where Does Your Donation Go?

Your donations support our program and local services. We hire some of the most vulnerable people from all walks of life, ranging in age from 18 to 75. We understand both the dynamics of connecting people who are in need — not only mentally, but also financially.

  • Our team: Every $10.99 that you pay goes to our team members' pay. Our priority will always be to hire the elderly, veterans, single parents, college students, and those who need a second chance. Some of our team members are elderly and may join our team not only to alleviate the loneliness they experience, but also to cover the extra payments for bills that Social Security just doesn't cover. We also offer bill assistance to all our team members. Not only do we provide these services to all our team members, but also to our volunteers. We directly send funds to the company for bill payments once assistance is approved in our program.
  • Support for local charities: We believe that local charities are the backbone of ensuring people in need receive services immediately. Our goal will always be to find impactful charities that go into communities, hand out food, and provide financial assistance, and we will always support those charities.
  • The Public: In some conversations, we come across someone who may need an extra boost. Whether it's a bill or professional therapy, we will provide direct assistance to the company or merchant for services rendered. This is based on an approved application and fund availability.
  • Contact: If you have any questions or concerns, you can certainly reach out to us through email at hello@ourearsareopen.org. We do have a 24-hour return for e-mail responses.
