Together, we can create lasting change and empower individuals to achieve their full potential.
How Your Donations Make a Difference
Who It Helps:
Your donations provide critical resources for CEF Members—those working to rebuild their lives with dignity—and enable us to continue offering a meaningful Advocate program, empowering volunteer Advocates to walk alongside our Members on their journey.
Thanks to Donors like you, CEF provides:
- Stability: Assistance with housing, employment, and financial tools.
- Support: A network of dedicated Advocates guiding Members toward success.
- Hope: A brighter future for individuals and families in need.
Together, we can make this happen and ensure that no one has to journey alone.
Member Story Spotlight
Earl Canty, a dedicated Member of CEF, shared his inspiring story at our annual Piggy Bank Bash. His journey is a testament to the power of hope, support, and the generosity of people like you.
Quote from Earl’s Piggy Bank Bash speech
I am so grateful to be a part of this community. They come and help me do what I want to do. The personality is so welcoming. They don’t judge the community. It’s called community. We are all as one. If it wasn’t for CEF, where would I be? I got many jobs because of their patience in allowing me to use their brains and their penmanship. I made a lot of achievements in my life.
Earl’s story is just one of many made possible by your generosity. Together, we can help more Members, like Earl, sustain their transition out of poverty.
