Two anonymous donors are pledging up to $50,000 in match funding to support local homeless families through The City Center
VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- The City Center announced that two generous donors have made pledges totaling $50,000 for a match funding campaign between now and the 31st of December 2022. This means that all donations will be matched, $1 = $2.
The City Center is asking Ventura County to support its work in helping local homeless families become self-sufficient. "Many people complain about the problem with homelessness in our county, but now is the time to be proactive, to realize YOU can make a difference," said Cheryl Heitmann, former mayor of Ventura City. "Now is a particularly good time to support The City Center, as every $1 raised will be matched, up to $50,000, and don't forget there are also tax benefits for donations before year-end. Our community needs to push together to help our most vulnerable population. No child should be homeless. Ever."
"We are so incredibly grateful to the two anonymous donors for their generous offer – however, we must now raise $50,000. I believe our local community can do this," said Jim Duran, Executive Director. "There were over 5,964 students identified as homeless last year. We need to own our transitional living center at 837 E Thompson Ave, Ventura. Historically, 53% of our funding went to rent, but if we own our home, we will be able to help more homeless children and families."
