\"\"Ch\u00e8re famille de la Ventura County Community Foundation,<\/p>\n

On behalf of the VCCF Board of Directors and staff team, I want to wish all a happy 2023. I personally cannot believe in December we marked five years since the devastating Thomas Fire<\/strong>, and I\u2019m so pleased that VCCF and our donors continue to support those who lost their homes in the fires. I hope you read Marcy Zaid\u2019s story <\/strong>and remember that many have yet to recover. Our donors are at the heart of our work in the community, and I\u2019m pleased to feature Brando and Karla Pozzi and their generosity<\/strong> to several important community priorities.<\/p>\n

Recently, we\u2019ve all experienced unprecedented storms in our region<\/strong>. These storms have flooded Ventura County\u2019s agricultural fields, washing away infrastructure and damaging or destroying crops. Thousands of farmworkers are now without jobs<\/strong> for several months, as crops in these fields cannot be harvested and new planting is impossible. Please consider supporting these families by making a donation here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As your community foundation, VCCF brings together our family philanthropic office and community leadership to maximize the impact of the generosity of those in Ventura County. It\u2019s important we collectively understand the challenges we face and are informed by thoughtful, thorough journalism. To this end, you will find in this newsletter two examples of the excellent reporting in the Ventura County Star by reporters supported by VCCF\u2019s Fund to Support Local Journalism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We have much to celebrate in Ventura County and we look forward to a year of giving and positive impact for our future.<\/p>\n
