RECOMMENDATION(S)
Adopt Resolution regarding the 2008 Contra Costa County Combined Charities Drive.
FISCAL IMPACT
No county funds required.
BACKGROUND
Contra Costa County has a rich history of supporting the Combined Charities Drive. This year,
the them is "Neighbors Helping Neighbors." These tough economic times have led to many of
our own neighbors, friends, and family members needing help. It's times like this when it's
important for communities to come together and help each other out. Our donations will provide
direct assistance to those organizations that our neighbors, friends, and family members may be
turning to for help. We also want to highlight the importance of all contributions — no matter how
small they seem. When everyone in a community comes together, even the smaller
contributions, when added together, can make a real difference.
