Holiday Fund closes in on last year's mark Holiday Fund closes in on last year's mark (January 06, 2006)

Readers of the Voice are continuing to contribute to the annual Holiday Fund drive, adding more than $4,000 in the last week.

The drive officially ended Jan. 1, although contributions are accepted through the 15th. For more information, contact the Voice at (650) 964-6300.

This year's donations will be matched by grants from the Wakerly Family Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. If reader donations reach $20,000, the fund should provide $40,000 to the six local nonprofit organizations that will benefit this year. The nonprofits are:
* The Community Services Agency of Mountain View; * The Community Health Awareness Council; * The Mountain View Rotacare Clinic; * The Day Worker Center of Mountain View; * The Support Center for Battered Women; * The Community School of Music and Arts.
See page 13 of our Jan. 6 print newspaper for a list of reader donations received through Jan. 1. Voice readers so far have contributed $18,143 to the Holiday Fund.
