Family Reach’s Post

Did you know that 37% of Silicon Valley families with children rely on assistance? At Sunday Friends, we’re changing this reality by providing not just support but a pathway to lasting self-sufficiency. "It breaks my heart that I can't always provide for my kids. Seeing all this wealth around us in San Jose makes me feel really embarrassed. But Sunday Friends... they're a lifeline. They don't judge, they just help. It feels like they're saying, 'You're doing your best, and we're here for you.' That means the world to me and my children." —JH The Impact We’ve Made Together: ~ 106,683 pounds of food and 16,958 essential items distributed to families in need. ~ $110,000 in basic needs supplies from Sunday Friends’ Tiendita de Apoyo merchandise. ~ 5,640 individuals participated in 145 live workshops, fostering health and resilience. ~ 10,874 people—children, adults, and seniors —joined community events that strengthened connections. ~ $19,000 in scholarships awarded to 16 young adults for brighter futures. How We’re Different: At Sunday Friends, families earn their benefits through active participation and giving back. This approach promotes self-sufficiency, dignity, and long-term success.

✨ Prevention starts with YOU. At the Erin Levitas Foundation, we believe in a world where every child grows up safe, where parents and caregivers feel empowered to have open conversations about respect and boundaries, and where educators are equipped to create safe and inclusive learning environments. But prevention doesn’t happen on its own—it takes education, resources, and a dedicated community to make it possible. 💡 Your donation fuels transformative programs like: ERIN Talk, which provides children with age-appropriate tools to navigate relationships and understand consent. Parent Talk, helping caregivers start conversations that empower their kids. Teacher Talk, equipping educators with strategies to foster healthy and respectful environments. Every dollar you give directly impacts children, families, and educators, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond the classroom. You’re not just supporting education—you’re changing futures, helping reduce harm before it begins, and building a safer, more compassionate world for generations to come. ❤️ This holiday season, make prevention your legacy. Together, we can rewrite the story and ensure a brighter tomorrow for every child. 📲 Donate today and join the movement: https://bit.ly/4gpkWve

As we approach the end of the year, I’m reflecting on the incredible progress we’ve made together at the Mississippi Center for Justice (MCJ). Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to make meaningful strides in ensuring underserved communities, particularly in the Mississippi Delta, gain access to essential resources—like broadband—that are critical for education, economic development, and overall well-being. This year, we prioritized broadband access, working with Delta school districts to challenge inaccurate broadband maps. These maps determine crucial funding, and inaccuracies can leave communities without essential resources. Our efforts helped schools and families advocate for the support they deserve. Broadband access is essential for education, economic growth, and opportunity. By ensuring these areas are properly represented, we’re building a pathway to digital equity. But our work isn’t over. As we head into the new year, I invite you to continue supporting MCJ’s fight to bridge the digital divide. Your year-end gift will directly support our broadband advocacy, ensuring Mississippi’s underserved communities get the resources they deserve. Let’s continue this important work together.
