Whatsoever You Do inc. is a Christian NonProfit Organization made up of individuals, groups and churches coming together to help the less fortunate in their community by living the words of Christ when he said, "WHATSOEVER YOU DO for the least of my brothers, you do unto me" - Matthew 25:40
About This Cause
WHATSOEVER YOU DO, INC.® is a local Christian non-profit organization dedicated to helping the less fortunate in our community. For over twelve years, we have been serving our community and assisting many individuals in great need. Our Women and Children shelter is located at 105 S. Iowa Ave in Ottumwa, IA. We are currently open for business, though on a limited capacity as we are still under construction. Since we do not accept government funding, we are financing all construction through private donors, churches, grants, and fundraising efforts—essentially paying as we go. This is a work in progress, and we can currently accommodate up to 25 people. We have already been successful in getting many individuals off the streets, with many former clients now in their own apartments and employed. This project is a significant undertaking, driven by the urgent need for a homeless shelter for women and children, and we willingly accept the challenge. We are committed to caring for those who cannot help themselves. Once we complete the renovation of our building, we will be able to accommodate 50 or more residents. However, this capacity will also depend on volunteer support, as our staff is entirely composed of volunteers. Currently, many individuals are facing eviction, and we are experiencing a high volume of homeless individuals in need of emergency assistance. With the economy hurting, this situation is likely to worsen. Southeast Iowa does not have any emergency homeless shelters, and the closest option is located in Des Moines, IA, which is quickly reaching capacity. As there are no walk-in shelters specifically for women and children, our options for them are extremely limited. Many are living in unsafe conditions, such as playcared houses, cars, tents, or under bridges, frequently moving from one couch to another. It is unacceptable for a town this size to have no options available for the homeless, particularly women and children. We are currently working on our third floor and preparing to install electrical work with a grant we received from the Wapello County Foundation. We greatly appreciate the support from all the Benevity donors; we could not do this without you. Thank you very much for your contributions. We continually need funding for ongoing construction and daily operations. In just our first year of being open, we have already helped over 100 women. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at 641-226-7684 or email us at wydincorporated@gmail.com. Should you require a receipt for tax purposes, please let me know. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Mary Margaret Butler Director & Founder of WHATSOEVER YOU DO, INC.® 641-226-7684 wydincorporated@gmail.com
