Huge thanks to Juan Pulido, Director of Resident Services! This morning, Juan represented CHOC Community Impact's Big Day of Giving efforts on Univision 19 .

For the residents we serve at CHOC Community Impact, today is more than a giving campaign. It's about knowing that people in the Sacramento region see them — the families working hard to stay housed, the kids who show up to after-school programs every afternoon, the seniors who deserve dignity and connection right where they live. Your support tells them that. We've met 37% of our $3K goal, so please help us reach $3K by midnight tonight! LINK: https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/organization/chochousing

CHOC extends deep thanks to Univision 19's Juan Pimiento for his report, as well as CHOC's longtime partners, The Hoyt Organization's Leeza Hoyt, MBA, APR and Andrew King.
