Emergency Fund Ad Break:
At Interfaith Community Services, we pride ourselves on connecting people back with their community. Omar and Janey know that the key to accomplishing that at a regional level is through research-based solutions.
A strong database network, not only allows us to properly track the success of our programs, but also the long term success of our people.
So, we are revamping our database! Unfortunately, this endeavor will near $115,000. And so far, we’ve raised $80,000. Yet, thanks to Funders Together to End Homelessness, we have a $25,000 matching grant opportunity for this endeavor. That means every dollar you give will be matched 100% down to the penny. If we can reach that goal, our project will be nearly fully funded.
With your support, we can help thousands of people successfully reconnect with their community. To donate, please visit our website www.interfaithservices.org/donate and select “Matching Opportunity” in the drop-down menu. Thank you.
Iain’s Transformative Thought:
There’s hope in the future of San Diego’s social service personnel. The commitment of community leaders, such as the Regional Task Force on the Homeless, is a great contribution to us all.
