CSA Urges "Give to the Max" Today

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)“Today’s the day!” says Community Services Agency Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. Give to the Max Day, that is. Through midnight tonight, your contributions to CSA will not only directly help area working families in need, but will help CSA earn its share of $125,000 in cash awards, including up to $25,000 for nonprofits with the most individual donors and the most money donated. “The region’s culture of giving and helping others is strong, but declines in corporate and government support are taking their toll at a time when nonprofits are facing overwhelming demand for their services,” says Terri Freeman, President, Community Foundation for the National Capital Region. “Times are tough and local working families are really hurting,” agrees McKirchy. “It’s a constant struggle to keep up with the need, but the metro Washington labor community has always been there for each other; it’s just basic solidarity.” Give to the Max Day: Greater Washington was created by online fundraiser Razoo, and organized and supported by The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region and United Way of the National Capital Area.
