Winter is a time when both giving and community needs spike, so it is a critical time for donors to be thoughtful about their giving. Did you know that 30% of annual giving happens in December – and 10% of annual giving in just the last three days of the month? At the same time, cold and rainy weather means a greater need for shelter and the relative lack of abundance drives hunger – we see needs all around us. On Monday, Dec. 9 at 4:30pm, at International House in Davis, the Yolo County community is invited to learn about this important issue. The Yolo Community Foundation will host a panel discussion focused on major needs in Yolo County this winter season, what organizations are doing to address those needs, and how local donors (of all sizes) can focus year-end giving to maximize impact. The event is free and open to all. Please register online before the event. Featuring:
- Doug Zeck, Executive Director, 4th & Hope
- Liane Moody, Executive Director, Short Term Emergency Aid Committee
- Jeneba Lahai, West Sacramento Family Resource Center & Health Programs Manager, Yolo County Children’s Alliance
- Michael Bisch, Executive Director, Yolo Food Bank
- Moderated by Steven H. Weiss, The Weiss Group
