Dear Community Partner,
We would like to invite you to be a “HOLIDAY HERO” to a local family or child this holiday season!
This year, Angels Over Cliffs, a 501c3 nonprofit organization who provides support and assistance to those experiencing homelessness and the Corona-Norco United Way, a 501c3 non profit organization who supports those experiencing domestic violence and extreme poverty have teamed up to provide you the ultimate holiday giving experience!
Collaboratively, we have identified and vetted several local families and community members from the Corona, Home Gardens, El Cerrito, Norco, Eastvale and surrounding communities who have demonstrated a true need of support this holiday season. These are people who are very loving and grateful but who are also putting in the work to have a transformed and sustainable life.
You will have the choice of adopting a small family, large family or an individual plus you will also receive an invitation to join us at the Giving Festivity where they will receive their gifts, enjoy light refreshments and participate in optional holiday photos.
While you consider this opportunity, please know that while your generosity will be WELL RECEIVED, it is the feeling of relief and hope that will really be of most value!
With sincerest gratitude,
Angela Hair, Executive Director of Angels Over Cliffs
Dr. Alia Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of the Corona-Norco United Way
