Mission: Community Connections advocates for people in need while promoting dignity. We gather and disperse donations of goods, services, and utilities to deserving local families.
What are you fundraising for this year?
We prioritize helping fosters, elderly, and disabled. However, we strive to help anyone in need in Carbon County. We have helped over 500 families locally by crowdsourcing donated goods, services, and monetary support. There are currently no organizations that provide the variety of help that Community Connections does. Funds raised for Community Connections would stay in our community to continue to help locals in need and to continue outreach.
What impact will funds have on your mission and community?
Funding would have a huge impact on our mission. We would be able to help many more people in our community with funding. We would not have to turn away people in need, and could provide more essential resources for our deprived neighbors in Carbon County.
If you participated last year, what did you use the funds for?
This is our first year in the Fun Run!
