Thank you to those who have already given to Empower Yolo's Month of Giving campaign to help support the thousands of women, children, men and families in need that we serve, especially during this challenging year. Our clients are especially vulnerable to the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. ... Because of our donors and support from local foundations, hundreds of families were able to access the support they needed to survive. We still have matching funds available thanks to Michael Starkweather, DPM's and Danielle Starkweather, RN's match as well as our anonymous donor. Your year-end contribution will help support our increased services and unfunded programs for the community. If you didn't have a chance, give now so that your dollars and your impact are doubled!
