WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Seven Hills is taking on extraordinary costs to manage the COVID-19 response – anticipated at an additional $1.5 million dollars each month in expenses to cover premium pay to retain staff, fund overtime and relief staff, purchase supplies and telehealth equipment and software, provide additional janitorial services, arrange special transportation, meet basic needs, and more.
YOU can make an immediate difference in helping us continue to provide essential services to people in our community most at risk. 100% of funds raised will go towards emergency response needs and will allow us to meet the urgent and increasing needs of our clients.
