Coming Alongside is a 501(c)3 organization which makes your contributions fully tax deductible. Contributions to our general fund are immensely appreciated and support our ongoing effort to make the latest scientific data available in a comprehensive, easy-to-read, and relevant format for individuals and local community organizations. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
Got a Concern? Let us help you turn it into a WhIM!
Do you or your community have a specific concern about toxic hazards? Do you worry that something in particular is affecting your health or that of your neighbors, and possibly your children too? Lead in your drinking water? Volatile organic compounds that cause asthma in the air? Potent pesticides in your food?
Coming Alongside would like to help you take action Where It Matters (WhIM)! For a nominal donation to cover our costs, we can help you pinpoint your critical environmental health problem and help you develop a WhIM Solutions Manual ... translating the problem into understandable language for your community residents, providing documentation that supports the nature and severity of the exposure and, most importantly, defining action steps that you and your community can pursue to address the problem(s).
Interested in a WhIM for your community? Please contact us at comingalongside@runbox.com to discuss it with us or indicate your interest when you Tell us about Yourself.
