The Mendocino Coast Children’s
Fund
says yes, when everyone else says no. Child
protective agencies, schools and clinics refer
infants, toddlers, children and teens to
the MCCF. We say yes to requests for help from
Rockport to Gualala and inland to Comptche.
Every day, 365 days a year, we catch kids from
falling through the cracks.
We
have little ones who don’t have shoes or warm
clothes. Others aren’t getting adequate
nutrition and too many children are in families
overwhelmed by unemployment, financial strain
and/or uninsured illness. An emergency food
voucher, diapers and baby food, a warm jacket, a
cozy sleeping bag, a smile and a bit of help,
simple acts of kindness can make all the
difference for community children when times are
tough.
In good times and
bad, our children need to know the community
cares. Right now, the MCCF desperately need
funds replenished. We have a waiting list of
kids and their needs are very real.
One hundred percent goes to the kids and
we are an all volunteer 501(3)(c) non-profit
organization. We pay no salaries or
rent.
Our small operating costs are paid by a
endowment from the charitable trust of the
late coastal resident Norman de Groot as a gift
to the community and its children. You can find
our 2008 990 non profit tax filing at
www.guidestar.org.
