Community Health Charities of California is
a federation of America's premier health
organizations that have joined together to
raise charitable contributions in the
workplace. Employee donations are used to
support these member charities and provide
research, patient services and outreach in
local communities. Employees designate the
charity or charities where they want their
donations to go, and that’s where they go.

CHARITIES OF CALIFORNIA , YOU
SUPPORT:
2000 Community Health Charities of
California
Supports more than 50 non-profit health
agencies fighting life-threatening illnesses.
Contributions assist work with hospice
programs, Alzheimer’s, cancer, Parkinson’s,
multiple sclerosis, and others.
By partnering with local employers,
Community Health Charities of California
connects employees to health and wellness
information, volunteer opportunities and the
ability to direct donations to the local health
charities of their choice. We currently provide
access to more than 150 leading charities
over 40 regional and national health
charities, encompassing almost every wellknown disease or disability and many lesserknown ones.
Leah’s mouth began to hurt. At first, her mom thought the pain was due
to teething. But when Leah started to run a fever and didn’t want to
walk, her parents called their pediatrician. Tests soon revealed Leah
suffered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common
form of childhood cancer. ―Our world just fell apart,‖ said Leah’s mom.
Her family was quickly referred to St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital, where Leah began a two-and-a-half-year chemotherapy
treatment protocol. The hospital’s groundbreaking development of
combination therapy for children with ALL revolutionized leukemia
therapy worldwide and increased the survival rate from 4 percent when
St. Jude opened in 1962 to 94 percent today.
Leah’s treatment has sometimes been difficult, but that hasn’t stopped
her from doing the things little girls her age love to do, like play with her
baby dolls or go to the playground, or, when a rousing game of hide
and-seek is through, reach her arms up to her beloved brother so he
can give her a hug.

Friends of the River Foundation (FOR) helped restore more than 60 miles the San Joaquin River in
2010. The San Joaquin River was pumped dry for more than 60 years. After years of persistence by
FOR and others, water was returned to a once forsaken river. In just six months of restored flows, river
vegetation and wildlife began to return. Restored flows on the San Joaquin have brought back a
refreshing oasis to the valley and improved opportunities for healthy outdoor recreation for millions of
people.

Umi was three months old when her mother brought her to Save the Children. She weighed 3.5 pounds.
She had been suffering from diarrhea and malnutrition since she was a few days old and her terrified
mother didn’t even think she would survive. The look on her mother’s face is one of fear and uncertainty.
Three months later, the baby we see in that photograph is gone, but she is not dead. Umi is no longer an
iconic image of hunger and drought; she is now a healthy, plump, and smiling six-month-old baby girl.
Umi survived, but thousands like her still face starvation. ―You know well that my daughter was so sick
that day that she was almost dying,‖ says Halima, ―so you can only imagine how unhappy and how sad I
was as a mother. But today I have a healthy daughter and I’m so happy. You cannot even compare the
joy I feel today to the sadness I felt three months ago – it is just not comparable.‖
Umi was given a foil pack of thick and nourishing high-nutrient peanut paste called Plumpy Nut. Umi’s
eyes opened wide as she gobbled down the sweet food behind her toothless gums. A tangible calm
came over her as, over the course of the next half hour, she steadily swallowed the entire contents of the
package. Day after day for six weeks since she had been discharged from the hospital, this therapeutic
food has been helping her gain weight; stay nourished, and come back to life.

The Good Karma Bikes manifesto is simple and straightforward:
provide and repair homeless and low income people’s bicycles, for
free. No need is turned away and their volunteers support the effort
with contributions of their time, talent and treasure to provide the
necessary resources.
They are incredibly proud and honored that many of their clients return
each week to work as volunteers, learning bicycle repair skills and
helping others. Some of their client-volunteers have acquired enough
experience through our Certified Bicycle Technician job skills program
to begin teaching others. This is a terrific self-esteem boost, as well
as an avenue to future employment and increased self-sufficiency.
Did you ever stop to think about the fact that homelessness and
poverty not only leave potentially productive people destitute, without
options and resources, it can strip individuals and families of personal
autonomy and self determination? Homeless and very low income
workers are often deprived of a basic personal freedom most of us
take for granted – the ability to travel where and when they desire.

Tapping into Marketable Skills
After being out of work for more than four years, Juan came to
Goodwill looking for employable skills. He knew his job skills were not
up to date, making it difficult to compete in the current job market.
Juan felt lost and became anxious about getting back into the
workforce. The intake team at Goodwill found that Juan was a perfect
candidate for the Transitional Job Program. Just a month into the
program, Juan learned about workplace etiquette, participated in
motivational workshops, and gained the confidence he needed to
succeed. After a few months in the program, Juan discovered he has
marketable skills. He is now a regular employee at Goodwill working in
the IT department. By investing in programs like the Transitional Job
Program, United Way Silicon Valley is helping individuals like Juan get
the skills they need to secure gainful employment.
