SCS served a record number of clients last year, and the need is continuing to increase.

To meet the growing demand for services, SCS is aiming to raise more than $500,000 this holiday season.

A tax-deductible gift of $25 buys a bag of nutritious food, $50 houses a family for one night, and a gift of $1,000 covers the cost of operating Sunnyvale Community Services for a day.

Donate early to have your gift tripled!! NetApp has challenged the community with a $10,000 match for donations to SCS’ emergency assistance fund. The Sobrato Family Foundation will match the first $44,000 in new or increased donations with an additional $46,200 grant to SCS!

Make a gift in honor of friends and family! SCS can send a letter acknowledging your gift, or we can give you gift cards for you to send. Let us know and we will customize your gift giving options.

SCS is also collecting non-perishable food and new unwrapped gifts for children, teens and households to distribute through the Community Christmas Center this holiday season. Financial donations and non-perishable food donations are gratefully accepted at SCS throughout the year.

For information on holding a food or gift drive or to volunteer at SCS during the holidays, contact Marie Barlahan, Director of Operations/Volunteers, at 738-4298 or by email: mbarlahan@svcommunityservices.org.
