This seed money enables tjem to make donations to thier beneficiaries who are in desperate need of our help. Unlike funds from government programs and grants, the donations they make to their beneficiaries are not restricted to specific purposes. This means that essential projects may be overlooked. These projects are crucial for community members who rely on the services provided by our beneficiaries. By donating to the Cherry Fund, you can make a big difference in our community. For more information on how the donations impact the lives of those who they support, please visit their Organizational Web Page.    This year more than ever with the ruthless and unwarrented slashing of funds by the Government, then we ALL  need  to step up our help
