The
Los Altos Town Crier Holiday Fund has been supporting Sunday Friends for seven years. Each year, The Holiday Fund selects low-overhead, direct service nonprofits in the Bay Area and encourages its readers to donate. The Town Crier absorbs all administrative costs of the fund drive, so all of the contributions can go to benefit the community.
We'll be starting 2008 with new storage cabinets and containers, pop up tents, outdoor lighting and heaters thanks to a $5,000 grant from The
Rotary Club of San Jose . These improvements will help protect our families, supplies, volunteers and staff. We appreciate their support.
Survey Monkey
has joined our efforts to break the cycle of poverty with a $5,000 donation to Sunday Friends. As part of their profit sharing policy, Survey Monkey contributes a portion of their income to nonprofit organizations that benefit the community. We are pleased they have chosen to support "The Working Alternative To Charity".
We are delighted to acknowledge the second $10,000 grant from
Applied Materials to enhance our Sunday Friends programs. Like Sunday Friends, Applied Materials is dedicated to helping children build the academic and developmental assets needed for success in life.
Special thanks to Coyote Foundation for recognizing that
Sunday Friends still needs to cover such expenses as insurance,
janitorial costs and employee salaries. Although these expenses are low
compared to other organizations, they are still vital to our success.
