We're over halfway there — and the match is still live. 🎓
Every gift made right now is matched dollar for dollar by our Foundation board. We still have matching funds available, but the day is winding down.
Don't wait. Give at: www.kitsapgreatgive.org/organization/oc-foundation



This year we are raising funds for emergency grants. Here's a recent recipient:

"I did not expect life to take such a sharp turn all of the sudden... compounded car issues, a flooding apartment and tuition costs. I don't think I could have afforded to continue my education. I only have 2 more quarters until I finish nursing school.

I was short a few hundred dollars and this emergency grant made it possible for me to stay in the classes I chose. Not only did I pass these classes, but so far I have a 4.0.

I am so close, and cannot wait to give back to the community and provide true, compassionate care.

Thank you for your investment not only in my education, but the healthcare of our community."

- 2nd year, OC nursing student
