“Form 990, Part III, Line 4A, Continued - CARPs goal is to become self-funded, and has established a mission account to fund ongoing operations. As funds in the mission account are spent, our leadership intends to replenish such funds, consistent with our investment policy - to honor past donors while securing CARPs future as a self-sustaining enterprise. The mission of the organization is to offer hope to the underserved alcoholic and drug addicted. We cooperate with the Triangle Club, which is maintained by and for the benefit of individuals in 12-step related programs. The Club provides a meeting place and a place to socialize for individuals recovering from addiction. In addition, CARP has a partnership with Restoration Bridge International (RBI), in which each of CARPs clients work for 8 hours per week, and RBI provides food to CARP, which reduces operating expenses. In addition, CARP has forged a collaborative partnership with New Horizons Service Dogs, enriching both of our programs. Each month, we welcome five to six dogs into our care, where they remain for four days. During their stay, clients tend to the animals - bathing and grooming them with gentle attention. These visiting dogs offer more than companionship; their presence provides therapeutic benefits to residents, fostering emotional well-being and supporting clients along their journey of recovery. CARP has partnered with Life Resources Community Outreach (LRCO). LRCO provides free medical services to CARP clients such as COVID testing and drug, HIV test, and healthcare.”
