Monterey County Gives! 2026

The Fund for Homeless Women is a field of interest fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County. montereycountygives.com/fhw Many women experiencing homelessness are hidden in plain sight. They are part of our community, yet we may never realize they have no safe place to call home. With a historic El Niño forecast for this winter, heavy rains, flooding and cold temperatures could put these women at even greater risk. The Fund for Homeless Women provides the expertise to leverage the power of your gift to create lasting impact, targeting the unique needs of unaccompanied homeless women in our area. When the storms come, your generosity will make a difference. Give where you live. They are a mosaic of all of us. They are our neighbors, our sisters, our mothers, our grandmothers.
