Big Day of Giving 2019
Cottage Housing is not participating in Big Day of Giving this year BUT you can still make a contribution to our program here:
We believe that the investment of the many staff hours preparing for, and the cost associated with Big DOG, are more strategically made in providing direct services to the more than 400 children, women, and men we are helping to escape homelessness and move towards healthy self- sustainability.
We thank you for your past support and hope you will continue to give.
In appreciation,
Kris Martin, Chief Executive Officer
Cottage Housing Inc.

Big Day of Giving 2017
https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/CottageHousing
Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour online giving challenge that brings together the region's nonprofit community to help raise much needed unrestricted funds and shine a spotlight on the work nonprofits do to make the Sacramento region the place we call home.
For the past few years, the Big Day of Giving and GivingEdge have worked in unison to unite our community, raising more than $16 million for local nonprofits and providing donors the opportunity to learn more about the causes they care about. These two resources are now here in one convenient location, giving donors a one stop shop for learning and giving!

Your Gift to Cottage Housing, Inc. Will Help Ivy and Her Family Keep From Ever Being Homeless Again
CLICK THE ARROW TO DONATE!
GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and the popular Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping days as an inspirational kick-off for the holiday giving season. It is intended to encourage people to participate in improving their communities and to give back in impactful ways to charities and causes they support - organizations like Cottage Housing, Inc. Seven-year old Ivy (pictured below) is among the nearly 400 men, women, and children who are putting homelessness in their past, thanks to Cottage Housing. With her mother Heather, her father Dave, and her brother and sister, Ivy is now a Cottage Housing success story. But that was not always the case. Jail, addiction, Child Protective Services and homeless shelters were part of their lives, until 18 months ago. Since coming to the stable environment of CHI's Serna Village, Ivy "has come out of her shell, her grades are rising, she's happy knowing she's not going to have to move from school to school, shelter to shelter," says Heather proudly.
You can help make it possible for other Heathers and Ivys to rebuild their lives with your special one-time tax deductible contribution on GivingTuesday, December 1. Thank you for considering a gift to help assure every Cottage Housing resident gets the chance Ivy and her family have enjoyed. And my you have a wonderful holiday season.
