Support Our Community

Dear Editor,

Thank you for the three excellent articles in the 01/29/25 CV Forum that covered: Nobody’s Perfekt Pet Shelter, Hope 4 the Heart Food Bank, and Wriggle Rumps ReTail. Two of the articles highlighted the financial support so badly needed in order to keep the pet shelter & the food bank open, both of which serve vital services. The remaining article on the retail pet boutique mentioned the owner’s support and donations to the community, including George Mark House, a pediatric center that provides palliative care at any stage of a serious illness. As a local paper, the CV Forum’s coverage of articles such as these, bring to the forefront what our community's needs are and the special people who work behind the scenes and contribute to make Castro Valley so special. As a community, let's support our local organizations & businesses, especially during these economic times when so many unfortunately can no longer financially continue.

–Aileen Chong-Jeung, Castro Valley
