Today is GivingTuesday, an international day of radical generosity created in 2012 to encourage people to do good. It is now a “global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.”

This GivingTuesday, consider a generous contribution to Give Jefferson. There are people in our community living without homes, without food, without medical and mental health care. Give Jefferson raises funds to support the local frontline organizations that provide safety net services to meet needs like these:

Housing & Shelter * Food Security * Healthcare * Children & Family Services * Education
* Financial Assistance * Advocacy and *HOPE!

Each year for the past several years, Community Wellness Project has been a partner organization with the Jefferson Community Foundation & United Good Neighbors Give Jefferson campaign. These funds have given our organization the capacity to support Little Free Pantries, Neighbor Loaves, a winter food box delivery partnership with the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, and all of our Farm to School programs across East Jefferson County. When students and their families have access to enough fresh, high quality, local food, they are better able to grown, learn, and thrive. And feeding children in a way that also strengthens local food systems makes our community and local economy healthier, more resilient, and more sustainable.

This GivingTuesday, and throughout the holiday season, consider making a donation to the Community Wellness Project, or more broadly to Give Jefferson, who then allocates funds to organizations that provide social services in East Jefferson County. When you donate to Give Jefferson, and to the Community Wellness Project, you help our students and their families weather financial challenges, food insecurity, and uncertainty. Your generosity makes a difference to the children of our community, and to the future!
