Join us on Sunday, October 26th at 6 pm for another fabulous Kindness Monterey Care-A-Thon Music Fundraiser for Local Restaurants featuring an All-Star Musical Line-Up!
More Restaurants can sign up for free to be featured on the Kindness Monterey and many more Sponsors are sought to underwrite this important non-profit which benefits laid off workers, evacuees from recent fires and others in need. As the weather becomes rainy, it's not going to be terrific for our local restaurants and their employees.
Please think about buying gift cards on KindnessMonterey.com for yourself, friends and loved ones! Thank you to the American Institute of Wine & Food - Monterey Bay Chapter as the fiscal sponsor. For more details, click here.
Below are the current sponsors of Kindness Monterey...

I have enjoyed many personal and professional benefits from my college experiences.
When we moved to Monterey in 1990, we took several classes at Monterey Peninsula College and since then, we have attended many great lectures and events there, as well. We're big fans of this college that benefits so many!
This is a very important asset in the City of Monterey for dozens of reasons...and if you vote here in Monterey, thanks for supporting Measure V.

There is lots of helpful information about Measure V to greatly help MPC and its students with FAQs too.
