Share the Spirit 2024: Thank you to these contributors!

Recognizing those that have helped those in need during this holiday season

Bay Area News Group

Published November 2024

The spirit of giving is shining brightly in the Bay Area. Share the Spirit readers are stepping up to help their neighbors in need. As of January 20, 2025, your generous donations have totalled a heartwarming $503,729!

We’d like to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing donors. Your contributions will fuel essential programs that support countless families struggling in our local communities. Every dollar you give goes directly to work in the East Bay and will make a difference for so many. It is readers like you that make Share the Spirit a success year after year.

The following is a list of Share the Spirit donors whose generosity we’d like to publicly acknowledge. (If your name is missing or needs editing please email us at [email protected].) We are also grateful to the many anonymous donors who choose to quietly share their compassion.

Together, we can create a brighter holiday season for our neighbors in need.

All of the money raised goes to the nonprofit programs and families featured in the Share the Spirit campaign, with the East Bay Times covering all administrative costs of the program.
