MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON GIVING TUESDAY
After the dust settles from shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, please consider giving to Families Connected on Giving Tuesday. Your donation will help us in our mission to empower families who are raising children with disabilities and to make Lane County a more welcoming and accessible community for everyone.
Donate on Tuesday, Dec. 3 and help
make a difference in the lives of local families.
