$5,000 MATCHING CAMPAIGN


$5,000.00 matching campaign! Let's provide food for people who need it the most!

Join us in meeting the needs of others during this challenging time. A very generous Dream of a Better World donor will match your GIFT up to a total of $5,000! 

Hi Everyone,

We are thinking of you all and hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. These are clearly new and different times, and all of us at Dream of a Better World are doing what we can to help others while following all of our current rules and restrictions.

Thank you everyone who has reached out and supported our efforts through this past month! We have been able to feed many families and purchase diapers, toilet paper and other needs because of your generosity.

This next month we will be partnering with a group that we know is making a huge difference to people struggling through this pandemic. It’s called California Homemakers Association and they are based out of Santa Rosa. They are a grassroots, voluntary membership organization created to meet people’s basic needs including food, dental and medical, as well as legal expenses. 

We chose them because, like us, their donations go directly to feeding people who are not getting paid and are struggling to purchase food right now. One other cool thing is that they collect excess food from Whole Foods, Andy’s, Oliver’s and other local grocery stores, as well as the Goodwill, every single Friday! And they still cannot keep up with the demand. People are hungry. Families are hungry. Kids are hungry!

CMA provides support for our valuable and necessary, but “unrecognized” workers who include day laborers, temporary and seasonal workers, in-home health care providers, independent contractors, farmers, and domestic workers. They are working hard during these challenging times to help the community get its basic needs for food and safety met. They are currently delivering food to hundreds of people each week and the demand keeps growing every day!

Every dollar you donate will be matched up to a total of $5,000.00. 

Thank you so much!
