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.
