    C2C would like to thank C2C members, solidarity members, community partners, event co-sponsors and the many individuals and partner organizations that so generously gave!

    This is community supported justice!

     In addition to financial support, C2C’s programs have an  ongoing wish list of items needed for programming and we are always open to creative and innovative ways to raise money or in-kind donations.  In addition, we are always looking for volunteers who can provide much needed support to some of our programs.

    I don’t believe in charity; I believe in solidarity. Charity is vertical, so it’s humiliating.  It goes from top to bottom. Solidarity is horizontal.  It respects the other and learns from the other. I have a lot to learn from other people.” -Eduardo Galeano
