As a former social services administrator, I'm delighted to be part of an organization that reflects the very best of giving from the heart - no constraints or judgement - just generosity. Every year for the last 100, the Berkeley Holiday Fund has helped to fill a gap for community members in need. The current all volunteer Board is tireless as it drafts the annual appeal letter, stuffs and mails almost 5,000 envelopes to Berkeley households and then distributes the funds so generously donated by neighbors. The referring agencies and recipients tell us that the small checks they get from the BHF make a difference. That acknowledgement is all it takes to keep us going for another year.
