Projects

Our first project supported local seamstresses making washable cloth face masks using materials donated by area residents. In the first week alone, over 1,000 beautiful free masks were distributed through local restaurants, retailers and directly to the Carmel Foundation and senior housing in the area.

​​​​​​​Masks were distributed at these Carmel businesses: Nielsen Brothers Market & Deli​,Stationaery, Eco Carmel​,Treehouse CAFE​,Basil Carmel, Flaherty'r Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar​, and Village Corner Carmel Bistro​. (More locations to come. Supplies are limited and restocked daily.)

1,000 face masks were also acquired from two local high school students and distributed to families of farm workers in Salinas Valley.


Our next project “Feed a Student, Help a Restaurant” partnered local restaurants with the Carmel Unified School District to help them handle the increased demand for meals. Over 1,500 nutritional meals are delivered every week.

Project #3

As part of our effort to assist victims of the fires we have acquired $10,000 worth of gift cards from Carmel restaurants. They were given to Raul Pantoja from the Monterey Fire Department this morning and they will be distributing them out to those in need starting tomorrow morning.

This effort will continue as we match funds donated to CarmelGives.org. Please put "Fire Fund" in the additional comment field.
