From resources that keep those in need afloat to those that encourage the creativity and wellbeing of children going through difficult times, The Los Altos Town Crier Holiday Fund – now in its 26th year – helps local organizations that directly serve those with the most pressing needs in the community.
Since its inception, the Holiday Fund has raised more than $3 million. This year, the fund aims to raise $260,000 to donate to 13 nonprofit organizations.
The organizations that the donations will be dispersed to include Child Advocates of Silicon Valley; Community Services Agency’s Food & Nutrition Center; the Community School of Music and Arts’ Artistic Intelligence program; the Day Worker Center of Mountain View; Help One Child; Hope’s Corner; Hidden Villa Summer Camps; the MERIT program at the Krause Center for Innovation; Los Altos Youth Theatre; Music for Minors; Mentor Tutor Connection; MVLA Scholars; and the Veterans Resource Center at Foothill College.
Holiday Fund contributions are tax deductible and processed through a donor-advised fund at DAFFY. The Town Crier will present checks to the 13 organizations in early 2026.
The Town Crier will profile each organization in a series of articles published throughout the holiday season. We profile two of our recipients, the Community Services Agency and MVLA Scholars, beginning with this issue. Turn to page 9 to learn more about the organizations.
