Santa Barbara, CA. All are welcome to attend the Starfish Connections Plunge for Purpose community event on 2.24.24. Registration information can be found here: https://www.thestarfishconnection.org
The Starfish Connection provides crisis gap funding to individuals and families with emergent financial needs that cannot be met by other organizations or government funding. The non-profit organization, founded by Virginia Benson Wigle, identifies people in need by partnering with other nonprofit organizations who serve neighbors in our community. There are no strings attached to this much needed help for those facing untenable circumstances such as eviction or terminal illness by paying for everyday needs such as transportation, food, clothing, rent and car payments.
