We still need more volunteers to help transport the beds and bedding to homes and assemble the bed frames for the families. We can use volunteers with and without vehicles, so if you're willing, please let us know!

Pioneer Operating Budget
“Tax Day” is April 15 for U.S. citizens, while it’s April 30 in Canada, but when do you actually pay your taxes? Some do it ASAP, while others wait until the last minute, and still, others file for extensions. Did you know that some people make quarterly payments throughout the year rather than a lump sum in April? Bermuda has no Tax Day, but it collects a payroll tax throughout the year.
