Giving Tuesday 2025
Imagine living on $1,400 a month.
For far too many seniors, this isn’t a hypothetical — it’s their reality. The average CCH resident is 76 years old and earns about $1,400 a month — and many earn even less. While their rent is deeply affordable, seniors living on such a limited income are under unprecedented pressure as grocery prices and healthcare costs continue to rise.
No one should ever have to choose between feeding themselves and staying housed.
At CCH, we provide safe and quality affordable housing. We also offer critical support services that help residents meet their most basic needs, including access to healthy, affordable food. Our staff partners with local grocery stores, farmers’ markets, food pantries, and food banks to ensure residents can stretch their dollars further.
This Giving Tuesday you can help CCH seniors save on costs by donating to our Resident Care Fund — a safety net for residents dealing with food insecurity. Can you help us?
Your tax-deductible gift, no matter the amount, helps seniors stretch their limited income:
- $50 pays for one week of groceries
- $200 covers groceries for the month
- $500 provides a warm holiday meal for 30 CCH residents
As we near the holidays and the colder winter months, food insecurity becomes even more serious. Access to nutritious meals during the holiday season is about more than health, it’s about the connection and community of a shared meal.
Everyone deserves to have their bellies and hearts full. Your generosity this Giving Tuesday will help bring peace of mind and joy to the thousands of seniors who rely on us.
Warmly,
Cynthia Alvarez
Chief Executive Officer & President, CCH
PS. While restored benefits like SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) may offer short-term relief, the pressure facing seniors is far from over. Programs like SNAP don’t adequately cover basic needs — and they’re facing some of the steepest cuts in history. Your donation will make a huge impact!
