SUMMARY:Monterey County Gives!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for Monterey County Gives! This year\, our MC Gives campaign is focusing on Rising to the Occasion: Meeting the Newly Increased Needs of our County.\nGFW has seen a 25% increase in our daily attendance this year\, and our basic services like showers\, clothing\, and toiletry items have all increased the same. Most shockingly\, our meals have increased by over 60% this year! We are proud to be a source of support for our community as more and more people find they must choose between food and rent – but we need your help to keep up with these needs! \nCLICK HERE TO SUPPORT GFW\nYour support this year means more than ever before. With federal funding cuts putting many nonprofits in limbo\, it’s private donations that are keeping GFW going. While our vital case managers and housing navigators are supported by state and federal funding\, those potential losses are made up through the kindness and generosity of our community support. The GFW Team is thankful for each and every one of our supporters – past\, present\, and future – for getting us started\, keeping us going\, and now supporting us through these times of uncertainty. We could not do it without you! \n\n\nIf you want to show your support for GFW’s Big Idea\, you can find us at our MC Gives page! Looking for ways to make your donation go further? Trying to get a last-minute donation in for a tax deduction? Been thinking about donating but just haven’t yet? Look no further! Each year\, the MC Gives Match allows your dollar to go further\, by providing a matching donation to the nonprofit of your choice. That means for every dollar you donate\, the organization gets your donation + a matching donation! It’s two for the price of one! \nFor more information on GFW\, MC Gives\, or other resources in our community\, you can learn more on GFW’s Blog\, follow GFW on our Facebook or Instagram pages\, or join our newsletter as we update you with more resources and information. Help spread the word and raise awareness for your favorite local nonprofits\, and join Monterey County through the MC Gives campaign from now through December 31\, 2025!
