Dear Friends of CTGO,
As August unfolds, and the summer begins to wind down, it offers us a moment to pause, reflect, and reengage. This is the season of harvesting when seeds planted with care begin to bear fruit, when intentions must be turned into action. Thanks to your support and energy, our mission continues to grow —but we still need your help to bring it to full bloom.
While much has been accomplished, there’s still so much at stake. Whether you've been with us from the start or are just discovering our work, this is your moment to make an impact.
Every day we delay, more neighbors go without access to the essentials we are working so hard to provide—healthy food, stable support, and a sense of belonging. The cost of inaction is measured in missed meals, stalled progress, and lost momentum.
But we are not standing still.
What We’re Doing:
-We’re building solutions: From site development to partnerships, we're laying the groundwork—literally—for long-term access to healthy, affordable food.
-We’re growing momentum: Our network of supporters, volunteers, and donors is expanding, and with it, our ability to serve the community is growing.
-We’re creating an opportunity: By centering local voices, we're designing programs that meet real needs—today and for the future.
And yet—we cannot do this without you. We’re building something real. But without your help today, this mission cannot move forward.
The Stakes Are Real—Here's How You Can Help:
-Donate Now – Your support fuels immediate progress. Without it, doors remain closed, and opportunities fade.
-Get Involved – Your time and skills are powerful. A single hour of volunteering can spark lasting impact. We are looking for volunteer board members from the communities.
-Spread the Word – Awareness drives action. Silence allows the need to grow unchecked.
We’re not just imagining change, we're building it. But dreams without action are just ideas.
Please stand with us. With determination and hope.
