Help Message from the Fund Manager

The purpose of this giving circle is to encourage people living on Capitol Hill to fund the organizations working with our neighbors in crisis.  I encourage residents and businesses of Capitol Hill to encourage their friends, families, and customers to fund these important organizations.

Help Giving Goals
Let's start with $1500 - that is Colfax's street number. I will find 150 people who are willing to give $10 each.

Good Food - How food can make a difference from GOOD

Check out the eight best food stories of the year at GOOD.  I have been getting more and more intrigued by food justice issues - people should not go hungry anywhere, let alone a few blocks from where I live.

Note: One of the stories is from Westword about SAME Cafe.
