GIVE JEFFERSON | November 11 - December 31, 2024 

There are people living 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 * Advocacy and *HOPE!

Thank you for your contributions to Give Jefferson and for helping our neighbors weather financial challenges and uncertainty. Your generosity will make a difference to someone in need of support.

GIVE HOPE. GIVE LOVE. GIVE JEFFERSON. THANK YOU!
