The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County (CFSLOCO) awarded two grants to local agencies operating overnight warming centers for the homeless during times of cold and rainy weather. Grants were awarded to Community Action Partnership (CAPSLO), serving homeless clients in San Luis Obispo and to the 5 Cities area. Each grant will cover the cost of providing clothing, warm meals, and other supplies as needed by warming centers.
“We are grateful for the work of our local nonprofit organizations and the services they are providing to the most vulnerable members of our county this holiday season,” said Heidi McPherson, CEO of The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County. “As the weather gets colder this winter, The Community Foundation is committed to supporting our local nonprofit partners who are helping those in need.”
