Invest in Miracles — Invest in COTS. The Committee On The Shelterless (COTS), a local nonprofit focused on services to homeless individuals and families needed a newspaper based campaign for their annual giving drive. So we went and looked upon the face of homelessness in our community. 

 

Invest In Miracles — Invest In COTS

 

COTS needs your support now more than ever. Significant cuts in local government funding have put our ability to provide award-winning services for families and adults at serious risk.

 

 "Dear neighbor, I need shelter for my family"

      Tonight COTS will provide 354 beds for adults and families who are homeless.

"I want my baby to be safe."

     78% of homeless families moved into permanent housing when they left COTS.

"My children are hungry."

     The COTS Petaluma Kitchen provided over 124,000 meals and delivered 760,00 pounds of groceries last year.
