Tahoe Magic - Helping Tahoe Families in Crisis

A little magic can make all the difference.

Welcome to Tahoe Magic. South Lake Tahoe is a close knit, mountain community with a diverse population of families working in the tourist and hospitality industry, education and medicine, as well as our small business owners and retired second home owners.

“I wanted to thank you for giving me a platform to make a donation to our community. I have been in this area since 1989. I was a cocktail waitress back in the day and I understand how this must be affecting families here at this time.”

”Hello, I’m Nellie. Thank you for helping mom with the rent and all the other bills she had. I don’t know who you are but you are a sweet, loving and awesome person. “Godbless” you and may repay you. With the money that was left, my mom could buy me and my brother new shoes that we needed.”

“Tahoe Magic is the one nonprofit that we can turn to for emergency shelter assistance. It is what our clients worry the most about above all else, not having a place to live during this traumatic time.”

Helping Families in Crisis

Lake Tahoe – For some it is paradise, for others it is “poverty with a view.”

Tahoe Magic is a leading local non-profit organization that responds immediately with respect and acts to help families that are experiencing a sudden or unexpected crisis. In this way, we are a community that cares for each other. Tahoe Magic assists families in need with one time crisis funding after a referral from one of our partner agencies. A little magic can make all the difference.
