Happy New Year's Eve! This is it -- we’ve made it to the final day of the year. If you’ve already made your year-end gift, thank you. And if you still need a reason to give, we’ve got more than a few. We've given you a few stats in our posts over the last week. Here's what it boils down to: your gift can support safe shelter bed nights for homeless teens, prevention services to keep families together, a medical program to assist children in care, and much more for vulnerable children and families in our community. Your gift of any size will make a difference. You can even double your gift when you give through the Louis and Gloria Flanzer Philanthropic Trust. Learn all about it on our giving page. Will you help before the clock strikes 12:01 a.m.? Visit sccfl.org/donate to give. Giving from a foundation or donor-advised fund?
