Your community needs help NOW!
People who have never asked for help before are reaching out.

Today’s tough economic times are affecting everyone -- your friends, your family and your co-workers. People who have never needed help before are now asking for assistance.

At local nonprofit agencies, government funding has been cut, donations are down, and there is a tremendous demand on services for basic needs.

Here’s what our local agencies are experiencing:

In Palm Beach County:

  • 84% of local agencies have seen an increase in demand for services – with 56% of them seeing a significant increase in demand
  • 66% of local agencies are reporting a decrease in individual donations

On the Treasure Coast:

  • 88% of local agencies have seen an increase in demand for services – with 69% of them seeing a significant increase in demand
  • 58% of local agencies are reporting a decrease in individual donations

Help us help them.
