It’s Spring—and the Community Grants Catalog is Open

I love reading grant requests in the Community Grants Catalog each Spring. It reminds me every time how much our local nonprofit organizations do to help people of all ages, animals, and environmental issues in our community. This year is no exception. The real work to make this community livable and dynamic happens with these organizations. Financial support from all of us is key to their continued success.

Where would we be without South Pacific County Humane Society? And what would our community be like without their no-kill policy? Humane treatment of animals is as important as humane treatment of humans. This organization urgently needs to install their commercial washer and dryer. I can’t tell you how many household units they’ve gone through over the years, but it’s a lot, and their grant request this year helps fill the final gap between units (already purchased) and installation, which needs some concrete and framing work, as well as electrical, to complete. Website: http://beachpets.com/

Pacific County Immigrant Support helps those who are being treated like criminals or worse. The vast majority of Americans are descended from immigrants. In my own family, one side immigrated here a couple of centuries ago; the other, only two generations back. Please open your hearts, and checkbooks, and help counter the appalling abuse of this vulnerable, and yes, American population—we are a nation of immigrants, after all.

Pack2School is one of several programs that help children in our community. Every fall, this group puts together hundreds of backpacks with school supplies for the coming year, grade by grade, to help families who are struggling financially. Over 400 school-age children get backpacks of supplies each year.  Healthy, well-educated children are our greatest local product.
