Thank You Sponsors, Volunteers, Comedians and Everyone Who Made Our 2024 Comedy Show and Fundraiser a Success
We had a Record Crowd at our Annual Comedy Show fundraiser!
All monies raised go directly to people in need in Marin.
Where your donations go? So far this year we have been getting overwhelming number of requests for payment of utilities, car repairs, phone bills, medical equipment, the list goes on!
Many of our recipients are in transition from homelessness into permanent housing and we are there to bridge the gap, so they can enjoy a smooth transition.
Thank you for the overwhelming support making all of the above possible!
Warm Clothing for North Bay
Wednesday’s Gift recently answered the call for clothing from a sister non-profit. Sonoma County Acts of Kindness is another volunteer run organization that acts on the behalf of the homeless community living in the many camps. We are so thankful for all of the folks who have donated nice warm clothes to Wednesday’s Gift- we were able to bring a trailer full of donations to replenish the stores of our friends up north.
Thank you for helping us help people any way we can!!

Wednesday’s Gift Recipient Story:
“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”
― Maya Angelou
G.W. is a very nice young man who approached Wednesday’s Gift for help in March. He is several months sober, living in transitional housing and beginning a new life. He has a job in the East Bay installing solar panels, but his very old car died. Without transportation he could no longer get to work. Wednesday’s Gift assisted him with $500 toward purchasing a used car that will enable him to continue working and transition into more permanent housing. He was truly grateful.
Your donations are directly helping people like G.W. in our community.
