Donation issues cited among local donors

- "There are many needs in the community, how do I determine how to support those with the most need?"
- "Outside of my immediate circles, how can I find those impacted by job losses and the disruption to economic activity?"

 

This partnership between CTCF and GHF helps to address these concerns of local donors.  Thank you for your support of those in need.
