Well, in the Presbyterian Church USA, there has been for about almost 20 years now a peacemaking program in the church that's observed on the first Sunday in October. And churches are encouraged to be involved in local peacemaking efforts.

Here at this church about three years ago, one of our church members suggested that we use part of that offering to sponsor a buyback, and that's what started it. And ever since then, funds from people in the community have come in. It doesn't come from church funds. To support the program and to keep it going. Of course it doesn't. You say funds in the community. What organizations? No organizations. Individuals. Okay, well, Pastor... The Presbytery did send us a donation this year. That's like the diocese of the Presbyterian Church.
