A community of people who care
You know that the people in these programs have experienced great neglect and disregard.
You know the cyclical effects of poverty…where the lack of funds makes it impossible to secure that one thing that can change the course of a life.
Collaborative courts work because of the circle of people invested in participants’ success.
CCJC Foundation Local Advisory Boards provide one more player to strengthen that circle.
![Page 9: Ccjc fdtn for potential la bs what matters](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55628cd2d8b42aa17d8b4bd1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Utilities to be shut offThis message came into one Local Advisory Board
the week before Christmas:
“We have a Drug Court client in desperate need of money for PG&E bill. She will be without electricity soon and she has children. ”
Outcome: This mother was awarded the needed funds to keep her utilities on. Her Local Advisory Board supported her request because her probation officer vouched for the circumstances that led to this situation occurring and how that problem would be solved in the future.

Request for Work UniformRequest for $209.99 for work clothes (uniform)
and shoes for her new job approved.
Outcome: Committee felt she should invest in better shoes since she will be on her feet and approved an extra $30 for an upgrade in the
shoe department. (Total $239.99)
She said, “I am absolutely grateful. Without those funds, I’m not sure where I would be today.”

The “Boot Camp” of treatment programs
Recovery is hard work
Many expectations are placed on participants
Failure is what they know and may fall back on
Through the grants made by Local Advisory Boards, not large in their amount but giant in the lives of the participants, members of these Boards are rewarded by being a part of giving badly needed funds to those who are engaged in the difficult task of recovery.
Participants are so appreciative of people believing in them and providing support.

Local restaurants who will give you a % of an evening’s income (Guy Fieri’s Tex Wasibi, Panda Express)

Plus a Few More Ideas
Have your local bar association sponsor a debate with your local high school debate society on the subject of therapeutic jurisprudence. Funds are raised by the teams securing
sponsors.
Create your own “a-thon”; walk, ride bicycles, jump, or Zumba!
