The Peninsula Home Fund never closes.
It can accept donations all year long.
Donations provide money for Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP) case workers to create an essential bridge for residents of Clallam and Jefferson counties when things just don’t match up.
The Home Fund is not a welfare program. Money is used to give families and individuals from Port Townsend to Forks, from Quilcene and Brinnon to Sequim, Joyce and La Push “a hand up, not a handout” to get through an emergency situation.
All contributions are federally tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law for the year in which the check is written.
