After 34 years of service, Caritas Creek's programs continue to thrive and children from all over the San Francisco Bay Area continue to be nurtured by our community and curriculum. Our programs are functioning at the level and with the integrity that has always been our hallmark. Despite the challenging economy, schools continue to return to our program, and new schools are registering to participate. In 2009 alone, we touched the lives of over 2,000 children!

Today, we're contacting you because we need your help now! This is the time to give back to the community that fosters and cultivates the principles that make this world a better place for you and your family. This message is not a fund appeal; it is an alert that we must raise $70,000 by January 15, 2010. We are reaching out to all of you who have been touched by the Spirit of love that is Caritas. Please make a contribution today.

HOW YOU CAN HELP NOW:

1. Donate $150 or more. If 500 people donate $150, we will meet our immediate financial challenge. If you cannot personally contribute this much, ask 15 people to donate $10 each. You can donate through our cause on Facebook or by visiting our donate page.

2. Forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to donate. Remind them that their contribution is tax deductible.

Caritas Creek is a tax-exempt organization under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Tax ID # 51-0181415) and your donation is tax-deductible.

Thank you for staying connected with our community!
