What are you thankful for?

California CareForce is thankful for you! More than 3 million California residents cannot afford basic healthcare. But with the help of our donors, California CareForce (CCF) provided FREE dental, vision, and health services to thousands of patients through volunteer-supported, no-cost pop-up clinics in 2023! Please join the Force for GIVING TUESDAY on November 28, 2023, and help us make the 2024 clinics possible! As a reminder, our giving goal is the date of Giving Tuesday.
