November issue "Making A Difference" spotlights Sherwood Cares Foundation supporting non profit Westminster Free Clinic & Community Care Center. Sherwood Cares foundation's funding helps prevents illness that can quickly put a family into debt and loss of housing.⁠
Their funding from Sherwood Cares directly impacted the following:⁠
-Helped the clinic sustain and expand free health services to local vulnerable, low-income, working people serving our community⁠
-Helped the clinic develop emergency response capabilities during fires, earthquakes, etc.⁠
-Helped the clinic engage in more youth, serving their community through their 2-year healthcare internship program, providing a career pathway for many and a love of service for most.⁠
Where does most of your funding come from?⁠
Almost all funding comes from Foundations and individual donors. They do not receive federal funds. 2/3rds of their budget is from donated goods and services that make their services possible as well.⁠
Their most urgent needs are⁠
•Unrestricted funding for Westminster Free Clinic & Community Care Center to fill gaps and meet needs as they arise. We are grateful to the Sherwood Cares Foundation for the support you provide. It makes a huge difference!⁠
•Economic supports for the families they serve-hygiene products, gift cards to Target for food and other household needs, fresh produce from people’s yards to give out at our weekly food as medicine distribution that happens in Thousand Oaks. Gently used clothing and household goods. These economic supports help families use what funds they do earn to pay for rent.⁠
•Annual funds for 30 laptops to give to low-income teens, that don’t require the internet to do homework (not a chromebook), and about 5 graphing calculators for advanced math classes a year to help our low income high school student interns reach their goals and show what they know at school.⁠

Honoring all who have served. Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954. Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May: Veterans Day commemorates the service of all U.S. veterans, while the older Memorial Day, which grew out of Civil War commemorations, specifically honors those who have died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military. Source Wikipedia.
