PROJECT INDEPENDENCE WORKERS RECOGNIZED BY CITY OF COSTA MESA ON A JOB WELL DONE
Silvia Kennerson, a Management Analyst with the City of Costa Mesa, recently complimented us on the good work being done by Project Independence employee Anthony Campbell and his team of Project Independence clients: Jose Medina, Craig Sims and Tim Sparkhul. The team was tasked with placing door hangers on thousands of residential doors in the City of Costa Mesa. According to Silvia, "The team was professional and very conscientious of yards and personal property. I appreciated their hard work and diligence." Congratulations to Anthony, Jose, Craig and Tim on a job well done!

SHARE INDEPENDENCE
As a nonprofit organization, donors are among the most important partners in the work we do at Project Independence. Their charitable gifts, when combined with other resources, make it possible to share independence with those we work with each and every day. Your own charitable gift-whether $25, $50, $100 or more-is increasingly vital as we help our clients maintain an independent lifestyle.
Your support will help us share independence with the hundreds of people we serve each year. If you're able to give $100 or more, you'll also be recognized as a member of Club Independence, a giving club for our most loyal and enthusiastic supporters.
You can also help us share independence by joining our Facebook community and sharing our story with others in your life. 
There are many ways to make a gift to Project Independence. Consider partnering with us today!
