This holiday season from December 1st through January 15th, join us in the Holiday Matching Challenge.  

With your help, we will raise $100,000 toward our $1.73 million annual goal—ensuring our neighbors have the support they need during challenging times.

Thanks to generous support from Epstein Commercial Real Estate, Haley Ward, Inc., Hollywood Casino, and Zach and Bailey Means, every donation collected, regardless of size, will be matched up to $50,000. 

Double the Impact!

Imagine the transformative power YOU can have beyond this match and consider making a recurring donation.

Your $10 gift will double to $20 and connect 7 community members in crisis to assistance through 211.

Your $25 gift will double to $50 and provide a safe haven for someone experiencing domestic violence.

Your $50 gift will double to $100 and will allow an older adult to have meals delivered to their home for one month.

Your $250 gift will double to $500 and support after school mentoring for 5 teens for the school year.

Your $500 gift will double to $1,000 and provide shelter for 5 individuals experiencing homelessness.

Have a person on your gift list who would appreciate a charitable gift in their honor? This is a perfect place for it and you have the option to generate a card acknowledging the gift.

Double the Impact
