CCAR Helping Hands continues to make a meaningful impact in our local community

Last holiday season, Helping Hands donated to three local nonprofits, including $2,000 to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, $1,000 to Monument Crisis Center, and $1,000 to White Pony Express. These contributions helped ensure families had access to nutritious food, holiday meals, and essential resources during a time when demand for assistance is especially high.

The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano shared that the donation helps strengthen the community’s critical safety net, particularly as many households face food insecurity and disruptions in benefits such as CalFresh. Monument Crisis Center expressed gratitude for the support, noting that the contribution helped bring smiles to clients receiving holiday food boxes and supports their mission of promoting stability, healthy living, and empowerment. White Pony Express similarly works to nourish vulnerable populations and strengthen the community through food rescue and distribution.

The Helping Hands Fund is made possible through the generosity of CCAR members, whose commitment to giving back helps uplift local nonprofits and the people they serve. These donations reflect CCAR’s ongoing dedication to supporting our community and making a positive difference beyond real estate.
