As the annual season of giving approaches, area non-profits are putting out the call for donors to keep them in mind. 

Breann Titus with Community Action understands donating may be difficult in these tough financial times; however, every little bit helps. She asks community members to donate, and knows the money is being stewarded well. 

Even though the recent government shutdown wasn’t Titus’ first, that doesn't mean it wasn't stressful. Even through the longest shutdown in the history of the country, 43 days, Community Action still focused on serving the community. 

While Community Action was able to continue many of the services and programs, Titus indicates they were concerned about what they would do when the fiscal year ended. Luckily, the shutdown ended first, and so they did not have to worry about it, which she is very thankful for. 

If funds were to run out, Titus indicates they would turn to private donations, which fill in the cracks where other funding sources do not. 

Community Actions depends on the Federal Government for about 75% of its funding, meaning when those dollars stop coming in, it can make a big impact.
