As winter sets in and temperatures drop, the cost of keeping a home warm climbs—creating significant challenges for many families in Howard County. For neighbors already stretched thin by rising living costs, this season often means tough choices: heating their homes, putting food on the table, paying rent, or covering childcare and other essential expenses. The housing crisis and increasing utility bills only deepen the strain, leaving many families in need of a lifeline. Your generosity powers the Community Action Council of Howard County's (CAC) vital programs, including housing assistance, food support, energy assistance, weatherization, and early childhood education. These services provide tangible relief to our neighbors, helping them overcome financial hardship—not just during the holidays, but all year long. There are only 22 days left in the Season of Hope! Don’t wait to make a difference. Every dollar you give changes lives—turning uncertainty into stability and struggle into strength. Together, we can bring warmth, comfort, and hope to those who need it most. Give Today: www.cac-hc.org/SOH2024 #SeasonOfHope2024 #HoCoCAC #BeCommunityAction
