Alhambra Cares launches November 29

In every community, the civic fabric and community spirit is most likely driven by community-based nonprofit organizations. From service clubs to faith communities to social service organizations, these community-based organizations bring people together, address critical needs, and strengthen the communities they serve.

In Alhambra, the social infrastructure that scaffolds the good works of volunteer and professional leaders is the work of more than four dozen nonprofit organizations. Ranging in size from small, all-volunteer organizations to multi-million dollar service agencies, they all share a commitment to serve the community. In this issue, you will find a list of key nonprofit organizations based in or serving Alhambra. This list is the first step of AlhambraCares.org, which will be a resource for all

Alhambrans: an updated, online resource that gathers information on all the local nonprofits. A project led by the Alhambra Chamber and Alhambra Foundation, Alhambra Cares will be the one-stop for anyone wanting to give back in Alhambra. Consider how you could participate, perhaps by donating funds, goods, or your time and talents.

On November 29, which is known as Giving Tuesday, AlhambraCares.org launches as a place for you to discover or rediscover organizations that are working to make Alhambra great. If you care about your community, visit AlhambraCares.org or one of these amazing organizations to get involved with a nonprofit. A more connected Alhambra that welcomes and serves all members of our community means a stronger, more vibrant community.
