Announcing our $25,000 Giving Tuesday Matching Gift Challenge – Special Thanks to The Lucky Duck Foundation


Thank you for wanting to help local children and families reeling from the impact of COVID-19.

With such increased need caused by the pandemic, I’m beyond thrilled to share that our generous friends at The Lucky Duck Foundation have responded and partnered with Home Start this Thanksgiving season to help local families and children by matching your donation dollar for dollar up to $25,000.  

That means your gift of $100 becomes $200.  Your gift of $250 becomes $500.  You will help twice as many children and their families.  Wow!  All gifts made through Lucky Duck’s secure giving link between now and Giving Tuesday December 1st at 11:59 PM  will be doubled.

Simply click this link for the Lucky Duck Foundation $25,000 Home Start Giving Tuesday gift portal.  Then make your gift through their secure platform to Lucky Duck Foundation. 

Lucky Duck Foundation will issue you your charitable donation recognition/ thank-you letter for tax purposes.  And at the end of the campaign they will issue one check to Home Start matching your gift and doubling all gifts – up to $25,000!  We need San Diego’s help to reach our $50,000 total campaign goal!

Please give now and have twice the impact for local children and families.  

In all my years at Home Start, I have never experienced children and families facing such need. COVID-19 has impacted so many of our friends and neighbors.  Here is an opportunity to help.

Thank you!
