DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
Supervisor Williams requests that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County's contribution of $1,200 from the General Fund contribution allocated to District 3 to benefit the following organization, Created Wonderfully ($1,200).
SUMMARY/ DISCUSSION:
District 3 has identified a local non-profit organization for which to contribute its non-county contribution allocation:
Created Wonderfully, $1,200
Created Wonderfully believes that therapy should never be a luxury, yet for far too many individuals and families in our community, the cost of therapy creates a barrier that they cannot cross. Therapy is important because it provides tools and strategies for improving mental and emotional well-being and better coping skills for life's challenges.
Through their Therapy for All program, Created Wonderfully removes financial barriers and makes therapy accessible for those who need it most. It is a safe, non-judgmental space to process emotions and to heal from trauma.
