CARMEL GIVES is a movement to help local businesses and provide assistance to those in need during this difficult time. By working with organizations, including the Carmel Residents Association and the Carmel Chamber of Commerce, Carmel Gives encourages grassroots support to quickly and efficiently get community projects up and running. Tim Allen founded the Carmel Gives Fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County to support these projects. "We have donated and will match up to $50,000 in donations from our friends, colleagues, clients and community to raise funds for local projects. We have also pledged to give 5% of our real estate fees from all transactions for the balance of 2020 to support local causes, and would love to partner with other agents and businesses." • Our first project supported local seamstresses making washable cloth face masks using materials donated by area residents. In the first week alone, over 1,000 beautiful free masks were distributed through local restaurants, retailers and directly to the Carmel Foundation and senior housing in the area. 1,000 face masks were also acquired from two local high school students and distributed to families of farm workers in Salinas Valley. • Our next project "Feed a Student, Help a Restaurant" partnered local restaurants with the Carmel Unified School District to help them handle the increased demand for meals. Over 1,500 nutritional meals are delivered every week. It is our goal to make an immediate impact and prepare for future needs with a fund that can be quickly applied in creative ways.
