So MUCH is happening in the world around us these days! Between COVID and politics and the upcoming holidays, it is SO easy to forget that we CAN make a huge difference for many, many people in our own communities! So... THANK YOU EVERYONE who
has reached out and supported our efforts this year! We have been
able to feed many families and purchase diapers, toilet paper and other needs
because of your generosity.
This THANKSGIVING we will
be partnering again with California Homemakers Association (CHA). We know that they will be making a huge difference to people
struggling through the pandemic in Northern California. They are desperately trying to re-stock their food shelves for an expected increased demand during the holidays. As a reminder, CHA is 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! 
CHA 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!Please help us re-stock their shelves so that the many families they serve will be able to really celebrate this Thanksgiving!
Thank you ALL! Dream of a Better World is grateful for each and every one of YOU! And we hope you have an abundant and wonderful, healthy holiday season!
With Much Thanksgiving!
Carly, Jack and Hannah Button
And everyone at Dream of a Better World
