Tri-Counties
Supporting Children in Need A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing and able to battle their life-threatening medical conditions. Doctors, nurses and other health professionals say the wish experience works in concert with medicine to make their patients feel better emotionally and even physically. That is why wishes matter.
That is why Spherion supports Make-A-Wish® Tri-Counties in granting wishes for kids with life-threatening medical conditions here on the central coast. When you put a big grin on the face of a child that is suffering, something amazing happens. You give hope and happiness to families that are hurting. You give a child the chance to experience something they only imagined and never thought possible. You create memories that will be cherished for a lifetime!
Since 1985, Make-A-Wish Tri-Counties has granted wishes to more than 1,400 children in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Join us in helping them make wishes come true.

A regional solution to affordable housing funding!
Ventura County Housing Trust Fund supports more housing choices by generating and leveraging financial resources, working in partnership with the public, private, and non-profit sectors throughout Ventura County.
In this era of limited resources, VCHTF is able to attract capital from sources not traditionally dedicated to housing. VCHTF leverages these funds by combining private capital with foundation and public agency investments to build a revolving loan fund dedicated to expanding affordable and workforce housing. VCHTF loans often are made early in the development cycle, before traditional funding is available, and thus provide financial support necessary to attract additional money needed to complete the projects.
Individuals and families at all financial levels deserve clean, safe, affordable housing located close to where they work. Supporting VCHTF by donating to the Revolving Loan Fund promotes the production of affordable housing with a focus on homes for veterans, the homeless, farmworkers, and youth transitioning from foster care. Contact VCHTF at 805-330-6987 or visit www.VCHousingTrustFund.org
