The MMOJ board requested community input regarding recipients for charitable donations for the remainder of 2022.
For the entire year of 2021, MMOJ tithed 5% of monthly income to All Faiths Food Bank (AFFB) of Sarasota. The board would now like to revert to the previous practice of changing the recipient organization on a quarterly basis. There may also come a time when MMOJ is able to make additional lump sum donations to nonprofit organizations.
