Retail Therapy for the California Budget Blues

How many times in a day do you hear bad news about the California budget and the safety net? Why not turn that bad news into good news with a little philanthropic retail therapy?

We’ve got the perfect remedy to the California Budget Blues – three new Bay Area partners in Santa ClaraSan Mateo, and San Francisco counties. Remember, it doesn’t take much to make a big difference in the life of a homeless or low income family in crisis. The only reason we have been able to raise so many diaper supplies is through word of mouth and local community support. Thanks for your help in spreading the word in these counties!
