The Berkeley Relief Fund was unanimously approved by the City Council on Tuesday. The City is contributing $3 Million to the Relief Fund and are asking our community to match. The Fund is now open and accepting donations. All donations are tax deductible and 100% of the proceeds will go to those significantly impacted. To donate, visit the Berkeley Relief Fund website, which also includes additional information and FAQs about the fund.
Be sure to pass this message around to your friends, family, and neighbors. By working together, we can help us ensure that our Berkeley community continues to thrive on the other side of this crisis. Please join us and your neighbors at 3pm.
