About the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund

The fund’s first mission was to provide Thanksgiving dinners to the neediest families on Cape Cod.  Now, the Needy Fund provides the residents of Cape Cod and the Islands with financial assistance for a range of basic human needs when they fall on tough times.

The Needy Fund is there to help families and individuals through cancer, car accidents, family deaths, job loss, temporary and permanent disabilities, serious childhood illnesses, fire, spousal abandonment and many other urgent situations all year long.

The Needy Fund is a community partner.  Sometimes, the crisis is too big for one agency to handle.  We network and partner with many local agencies, such as Saint Vincent de Paul, Hands of Hope Outreach Center, Housing Assistance Corporation, and many, many others to get people through the toughest of times.

The Needy Fund enriches the lives of those it touches. Here are some examples:

“I want to thank this fund and all the people involved for your generous funding.  If it was not for the kindness of all concerned, I would not be in my new home.  God Bless you all.”  L.M.

“It is with a humble heart that we accept your generous contribution…for our paralyzed daughter.”  H.E.
