Thanks to
our generous friends and neighbors in the community, Skagit County
Community Action Agency was able to raise
$20,031
in cash and donated items to benefit those most in need this Holiday
Season!
Our Sincere Thanks and
Appreciation to all of you, for Helping People and Changing Lives!
(Updated 1/6/09) |

As the holiday
season lies before us, we are facing difficult economic situations.
Families are struggling to pay bills and put food on their tables.
Families who have been stable are losing their footing, and wonder
where to turn for help and guidance.
Community Action
Agency fills that role.
We are seeing more families and individuals in need than
ever, and
it is our promise to the
community to help people and change lives
– and we are asking our friends in Skagit County to make this promise to
their friends and neighbors in crisis as well.
From now until December 31, we are inviting our friends
and community partners to help us meet the greatest needs of those
hurting in our community.
Won’t you help make a
difference in the lives of families in Skagit County?
Give DIFFERENTLY this Year:
Help feed the hungry
by making a donation to one of our Food programs, including:
Help meet the needs
of those in emergency situations, by making a gift to:
 |
Our
Critical Needs Program, which provides
vouchers for shelter, food, gasoline or clothing |
 |
Our
Volunteer Chore Program, which
provides solutions to accessibility issues, like building wheelchair
ramps or installing grab bars in showers, to help keep our senior and
disabled neighbors in their homes |
 |
Our
Community Voice Mail Program,
which provides homeless and unemployed families with free 24-hour
voice mail so they can find work, housing and stay in touch with
family, friends, and loved ones |
Help create a home
for the homeless families in our community by:
 |
Giving to our
Family Development Center so that we
may provide household items for our furnished temporary apartments for
homeless families |
Receive DIFFERENTLY this Year:
Consider rethinking the meaning of the holidays, and
invite
others to give inspirational gifts in your name this year!
Capture the Spirit of the Holidays DIFFERENTLY this Year:
Celebrate the continued importance of the idea of
COMMUNITY
to Skagit County. We have more friends and neighbors in need this year
then in years past, and a truly memorable holiday season would be one
where no
one goes without food, shelter or basic necessities.
Can you help make this holiday dream a reality this year?
