We just wrapped up our 2026 medical debt elimination project, and can't wait to share with you the incredible results! Last year we cleared $1.8M of debt. This year LOTS more. Thousands of people throughout SB County are going to be blown away when they find their past-due debt has been cancelled 100% with no strings attached!

We're thankful for our partnership with Undue Medical Debt that's made this possible.

Such a great work in our community!

Thank you First Christian Church for handing out baby bottles for Care Net! Today we came across this sweet note in one of them. 🫶🏼
“Hi! Our 11 year old daughter emptied her piggy bank to fill up the bottle. She is a joyful giver. 😊Many blessings on your ministry at Care Net!
💛J.M.
We don’t know who J.M. is or her family, but we know being 11 years old with a generous heart deserves a special shoutout and thank you! We also know that $27.10 is a lot to give at that age and we are grateful! 🥹
FCC has raised close to $3,000 already. Wow! We will be in the plaza on Sunday to collect again! 🙌🏻 ✝️ Thank you for your support, FCC!
