San Benito’s 12 Days of Giving Plans December 1–12 Fundraiser for Five Nonprofits

SAN BENITO COUNTY — November 7, 2026. The annual 12 Days of Giving campaign is preparing to return December 1–12, 2026, bringing local donors together to support five community nonprofits.

Who stands to benefit

The campaign lists CASA of San Benito County, Community FoodBank, Emmaus House, Sun Street Centers and the YMCA as beneficiary organizations. Their work involves children, food security, housing-related support, recovery services and youth programming.

How donations are intended to work

Local businesses and other sponsors have pledged matching contributions under the campaign’s rules. That can amplify qualifying gifts, but donors should review the amount, deadlines and limits of the actual match rather than assume all donations receive an unlimited match. Organizers identify December 12 at 11:59 p.m. as the end of the campaign window.

Why the countywide effort matters

Smaller nonprofits often depend on year-end support to continue serving residents across dispersed rural and urban neighborhoods. The current announcement is a fundraising plan, not a confirmed amount raised or proof of new services already delivered. Anyone wishing to participate should use the organizers’ verified links and check whether their chosen nonprofit is listed in the 2026 campaign.
