Umm, before you go through all of that why don't you walk in and ask to
speak with their IT person.
Explain the situation and walk them through the problems. You may find
out that they are completely overworked, possibly under-skilled and may
appreciate your helping hand.
If they don't it's no skin off of your back.
And yeah... it's wrong (and illegal in some places) to access the
network and use their resources (network, printer, toner, paper) without
their permission.
You'd think someone from a organization that claims to be "Christian"
would already know that stealing is wrong.
