CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The annual Coastal Bend Day of Giving online fundraiser is right around the corner on Nov. 12, but Early Giving is in full swing!
If you just can't wait to support one of the 62 nonprofits benefiting from the event, you can schedule a donation right now! Just click here!
One of your options is the Compassionate Care Medical Clinic located on South Staples Street.
It's an organization that provides essential care to those who cannot afford it and do not have insurance.
More than 15 doctors, including specialists, volunteer their time to treat patients at the clinic. Your donation can help them continue that work, while making a life-changing difference for your friends and neighbors in need.
"This cannot function without the help of everyone in the community; it just couldn't, the needs are so great," Registered Nurse Lynette Navar said. "No small amount of money is too little. Anything we get from a dollar to a thousand will go towards our care. I've always said if everybody in Corpus could give $5 we'd be in great shape."
