Without you, our neighbor, Coastside Hope could not help our neighbors in need. Your generosity makes it all possible. So far this holiday season, you and your neighbors:
* Donated new clothing, gifts, books, and toys to 368 needy households through our Adopt-A-Family Christmas program. In total, you gave Christmas Hope to 1,331 people, including 723 children!

* Hand-delivered more than 75 turkeys and over 1,250 pounds of food for your neighborhood emergency pantry!
