Hello! My name is Ross Jackson, I am a Boy Scout of Troop 5 in Medford Oregon.

I have been working toward my eagle scout project for over ten years now; I started scouts in 2015. How Scouts works is that you must advance through all the ranks before you can reach your final rank (eagle), but before you are allowed to reach this rank you must complete a community service project to help someone. I was offered an eagle project to benefit the community this past month.

The project? To build 7 picnic table for a homeless shelter named "The Kelly Shelter". They need these tables because they need a place to sit and work on the community garden behind the shelter, these tables would also provide a place for residents to sit outside when the weather is nice.

I only have until the end of the month to complete this project, so time is ticking.

I am asking you for your support to donate to this project, whatever you can. The cost adds up to around 140 dollars per bench, meaning I will need 1100 dollars to make it through this project.

Here is the updated list of raw materials needed below:
