HELLO FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
 
September marks the fall equinox and the start of a new season, new energy, and a shift into what is traditionally a time of harvest, abundance, and a time to reap what we've sown. Last week we hosted our first stakeholder thank you soiree in our office. I looked around the room at all the people who have sown seeds with us our first two years and who believe in our mission to bring hope through crisis funding and storytelling. All these beautiful souls contributing so that we can help those whose harvest may be lacking. 
 
This weekend I delivered a rent check for a client of the Mental Wellness Center. She will keep her housing because of your belief in our mission and your investment in our community. Thank you for your support through all the seasons! 
 
The Starfish Connection is actively looking for new nonprofit partners on the Central Coast. As a supporter of TSC you are invested in our work and so your thoughts and ideas matter to us. Are there any agencies doing work that speaks to you? Or, is there a demographic of people you'd like us to consider serving? I'd love to hear from you if you have thoughts to share on where we can expand our services! sarah@thestarfishconnection.org
 
I wish you well! 
 
Sarah Abrams
Executive Director
