Dear Eleanor,

On behalf of everyone at Riverbend Community League, thank you for your generous gift of $5,000 received on Jan 3, 2026. Your support of Housing First (restricted) makes a direct, measurable difference for families in our community.

Because of donors like you, our Housing First program moved 41 neighbors from the by-name list into permanent housing this quarter. You are part of that outcome.

For your records: no goods or services were provided in exchange for this contribution, which is fully tax-deductible. Riverbend Community League is a 501(c)(3) organization, EIN 31-0000512.

With gratitude,
Marisol Vega
