The Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund has received a $250,000 gift from an anonymous donor, setting a new record for the annual grant program that benefits needy families, children and individuals on the Midpeninsula. This gift, along with hundreds of other donations large and small, reflects the community s desire to help the people among us in the greatest need during an extraordinary time, Palo Alto Weekly Publisher Bill Johnson said this week.
The Holiday Fund is a 28-year-old tradition dedicated to aiding local nonprofits in serving the community. Since its inception, the program has raised and distributed more than $7.6 million.
