George & Tena Lange Foundation

Thank you Breck Betts , Bill Houghton . Americo Woks, and Jane Lange for your incredible donations! I'm so grateful for your support, continued generosity and faith. As I shared earlier it is always a leap of faith for me when I basically spend ALL the foundation money on assisting someone. Is getting 1 person housed, hoping they can maintain it the right choice or do I help 10 people, spending less and solving 1 immediate issue for them? Honestly, I usually make the leap of faith because there is no other recourse for that person and that is what the foundation exists for. I make that leap knowing full well that could be the last person we assist which is always painful thought for me. Your willingness to give and put us back into a position to help those in need or provide some comfort means more to me than I can adequately express. So I will once again just say THANK YOU ❤️

It has been awhile but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy and now we are completely broke, like barely enough to keep the account open broke. In the last few months we have given small donations to those who have been without food. Needless to say the fiasco with the SNAP benefits really escalated need in the community. Today I used the last of the foundation funds to to get a young man off the streets and into a room. I am very grateful to Kings Harvest Ministries, they provide such a service to the community especially with their affordable SRO's and propensity for giving people a chance. I had been awhile since I had been down there and today was a good reminder of what they do and how many people they help! I realize times are uncertain and a lot of people are struggling financially. However, if you are inclined a donation to the George & Tena Lange Foundation would be greatly appreciated. Your generosity and trust is what makes it possible to make things like today happen. It is never an easy decision for me to run the account dry but sometimes it needs to be done and unfortunately, money is still what makes things HAPPEN! As always your donations go directly to helping those in need and are tax-deductible. Thank you for support and assistance is allowing other people to receive the help they need.

Thankful for the continued donation from US Bank and employees. Thanks to your generous gift ing there's enough in the account to keep it open :) The last couple of months we have quietly helped provide groceries for those in need. Money for medicine and some sweet soft things for a new baby! With SNAP benefits possibly being halted and people losing health coverage I'm afraid things could get really bad. I appreciate the continued support and will continue to do what we can with what is available.

Once again a big thank you to everyone who donates and keeps us going. In March we were able to assist 6 people in need with extra funds to purchase groceries, clothing and pay utilities. All due to your generosity, I am forever grateful😍

Considering so far this month we have spent over $800 helping people in our community pay their rent, buy food and purchase needed shoes I am very grateful to US bank and the employees that donate to the foundation.

For those of you interested the cover photo is a copy of an art piece made by my unhoused friends in Chicano Park, San Diego. It was gifted to me along with some other items the last day the George & Tena Lange Foundation served in San Diego. It was a very emotional day and the years we spent providing for those experiencing homeless were some of the most meaningful of my life. I will never forget being told that it wasn't just the food and items we delivered but the sense of hope that came with us. The feeling that there were people who cared. I am honored to have had the opportunity and think of them often.

The need in our community and across the country continues to grow - I am also aware that the cost of living is increasing daily. A great way to support the work we do is to purchase some of your garden needs with our latest Flower Power Fundraiser! Every purchase generates a contribution to our operating fund, funds that go directly to helping those who need assistance. While adding to the beauty of your garden, Spring is just around the corner.

Flower Power Fundraising helps support groups, causes and communities using an earth-friendly alternative to traditional fundraising through the sale of flowers, bulbs and perennials that can be enjoyed for years to come!
