CMCA helps families living at or below poverty level meet basic needs through programs and services that not only address crisis situations but also partner with families to help them build a plan toward financial stability. Usually, within 6-9 months, families who have been working to improve their financial status begin seeing positive results.
We can't do this work without your help. A gift of ANY size to our CoMoGives campaign can help a family meet basic needs while also giving them the skills and support necessary to become financially stable. Keeping families safe, healthy, and moving forward is our goal. Will you help?
