We celebrated Easter with some fun at the AEC, an egg hunt, a viewing of “The Chosen”, and a special service on Sunday morning. Our very own Angie Ibarra Miller delivered the message. We are excited to continue the Sunday gatherings once a month. Our next service will be on 5/22 at 10 am.
There are many opportunities for you to support our students and be a part of events:
You are invited to join us as we celebrate the Mothers of our community. May 10th is the day that most Latin American countries celebrate Mother’s Day and we will honor our mothers on that afternoon.
We will have music, sweet treats, and a special performance by Danza Colibri!
Join us to celebrate the amazing women of North Fair Oaks. We also welcome your financial support.
Last year due to covid we hired more staff to manage the program, food, and transportation. The financial help you provide is a huge blessing and bridges the financial gap as we increase to longer hours versus after-school programming. We also welcome more volunteers to join us! We are so excited to partner with Calvary San Mateo again this year. We will also work with Salvation Army! We know it will be a meaningful and joyful experience for all! Please pass the word on to friends, family, and coworkers!
As we head into the final few weeks of school, we are calling on all volunteers to support our students in finishing the school year strong! We need your help to play games, read, do art projects, and just be present with our students at our AEC. Can you spare an hour or two in the coming weeks?
Our center is open Mon-Thurs from 3-6 pm. Click below for more information.
Thank You video to all who served with us on the AEC renovations team! We are forever grateful!

Dearest Food Distribution team,
Thank you so much for your faithful service to the community.
We appreciate your willingness to labor with us through 2 very difficult years of uncertainty for many of our families.
As we head into 2022 we are thrilled to continue this work and grateful for your support and labor of love. Great news! Facebook boxes return on the 18th!
We appreciate your responses to the survey. So many of you indicated you want to continue to provide this vital service. Some of you indicated that you wanted to engage more with families and we will provide this opportunity! This is great input! It has been GU’s sweet spot for over a decade – proximity to the poor by forging relationships.
It’s a new season for our food distribution work and we will be making the following changes effective FRIDAY 1/28:
We are forever grateful for the partnership with Peninsula Covenant Church for over a decade. Tuesday, 1/18 will be our LAST DAY serving from PCC’s parking lot, though our partnership with them as we serve our community is one we value and will continue in other ways. We started offering programming to schools and have only grown from there! A very special shout out to our dear friend Sharon Seeberger for over a decade of support and encouragement of the mission of GU. We still have much to do together!
Be on the lookout for our review of 2021 and the amazing results from this past year. As well we launch volunteer learning groups to include resources that will equip us all to be better neighbors. Our first topic on 1/28 is The Power of Proximity!
Don’t forget: TUESDAY JAN 18 is our last day hosting Food Distribution from the PCC Parking lot. We move to the Salvation Army on FRIDAY, 1/28.
See you soon!

“It’s very clear that there are so many needs in our community. My family and I desire to have a part in meeting some of those needs in a way that makes sense. Sharing our Thanksgiving meal traditions with a family was just a small way we could meet one of those needs. We wanted to partner with Generations United to support the multi-faceted way Angie and her team are caring for those most vulnerable among us. It was our joy to serve in that way and we welcome any future partnership with GU in whatever ways our community needs.”
On Monday, November 1, we honored our loved ones who’ve passed with a Day of the Dead celebration.
It was a beautiful time of remembrance and we are especially thankful to our friends at Cake4Kids for the lovely and delicious treats!
