We Have Selected Our Non-Profits for 2023!

Congratulations to our 2023 Non-Profit Selectees!

Mom’s Against Poverty

Help fight global childhood poverty by providing Education, Hunger Relief, Orphan Care, and Health Care.

Fighting child poverty globally is a colossal undertaking but if we work together we can make a difference. We are dedicated to empowering children with the tools they need to thrive. Most of all we aim to bring them something that can’t be measured: HOPE!

Family Connections

Thriving kids. Thriving families.

We empower under-served families in San Mateo County with children from birth and beyond by providing free, high-quality early learning programs linked with wrap around services that propel our families – and our whole community – forward.

Medical Equipment Loan Project

We Loan Free Medical Equipment Primarily in San Mateo County

The Medical Equipment Loan Project (“MELP”) recycles used durable medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, rollators, walkers, and similar items, loaning them at no cost to individuals who cannot afford or otherwise have access to them. Equipment donated to our program is inspected, sanitized, and inventoried before it is made available to future users. Although it is made available at no cost, donations of any amount are appreciated.

We are looking forward to the presentations. Get Your Tickets Now & Join Us!
