Brown notes sparse private gifts though churches aid operations. The Center cannot charge for meals, asking a $2 donation with no monitoring of who pays. Five part-time staff earn $36,000 with 5 vacation and 5 sick days, and a 1990 van has 120,000 miles. Renfro cites year-end funding as a short-term fix.
