Sponsor-A-Family

We are so grateful to all of our volunteers and partners for being a part of spreading good cheer at the end of this unique year. Last year, you gave and served and blessed 75 families. Please consider sharing this message with a friend so we can reach more people in our community.

Gift wrapping

Fri 12/17 2 – 4 pm
Sat 12/18 8 am – 12 pm
On Sat 12/18 We will have a wonderful time with families from 12p-3p for pick up and drop off to families

We received a message from one of our families this week that they will be moving to Fresno in the new year due to rising costs in the Bay Area. Your support helps families like Sayra’s to pay the rent or a utility bill at a critical time.
“I wanted to come by to give you the infinite thanks and the great affection that we have for you. ♥ We could not be more grateful to you for all your support and for thinking of us at all times!
My daughters and I have very special gratitude to you!”

A big thank you to all who joined us for our Thanksgiving meal. Special thanks to Kairos Church and the many who served our families. A special thanks to
Betty Rodriguez, Sarah Conneely, Janet Hallock, and Keith Miller for providing 8.5 turkeys with all the fixings.

Family Spotlight:

Maria Leyva and her 2 daughters are special ladies to us! Maria helps weekly to keep our AEC clean for the many children who join us. She is always willing to help. Even as a single mother, she finds the time to get involved in her children’s education and activities. The girls are part of Danza Colibri and were featured as a part of our Thanksgiving entertainment. The Leyvas continue to be an important and beautiful part of the community we have built. Join us!
