2021 Share of Care: Pacifican Cares Distributes $73k to Young People, Seniors and Families

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

2020-21 has been a unique time for Pacificans Care as the needs of the four core social service agencies we support, Pacifica Resource Center, Pacifica Senior Services, Pacifica Child Care, and Pacifica Youth Service Bureau, grew significantly. The added challenges presented by COVID-19 have created even greater and continuing demands for social services throughout the community.

But, the need for these critical social services in Pacifica continues!

With your generous support of the Pacifica community, Pacificans Care can continue to assist our local social service agencies in addressing the impacts of these difficult times.

Together we can make a difference for Pacificans in need.

Together we made a difference for Pacificans in need.

Dear Pacificans,

This year Pacificans Care celebrates 39 years of supporting local social services for our young people, seniors, and families and now initiates our 2021 SHARE OF CARE fundraising drive. Our nonprofit organization could not continue without thoughtful donors such as you.

As a result of your generosity Pacificans Care was able to distribute $73,000 in grant funds this summer to our core social service agencies to meet critical needs of children, youth, individuals, families, and seniors in the community, including:

  • Pacifica Resource Center: $26,000 to address safety-net and emergency services for over 1,500 Pacifica households.
  • Pacifica Child Care Services: $10,000 to provide summer enrichment programs to children who would otherwise be unable to participate.
  • Pacifica Senior Services: $25,000 to provide socialization, life learning opportunities, health programs, and quality nutrition for our senior community.
  • Pacifica Youth Service Bureau: $12,000 to provide counseling to students at six Pacifica school sites, and to entire families in need.

The COVID pandemic created extreme challenges and needs in 2020-21 that impacted the Pacifica social service agencies.

 

The need for critical social services in Pacifica continues.

Please make your much-needed contribution to our annual 2021 SHARE OF CARE Drive. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Thank you for your consideration! Your support makes a huge difference for those in need.

Sincerely,

Pacificans Care Board of Directors

Established in 1982 by a small but dedicated group of citizens, Pacificans Care is a totally volunteer, community-based non-profit organization created to support core social service organizations in Pacifica. Pacificans Care ensures that our neighbors in need succeed in developing a healthy, self-sufficient, and improved quality of life. Pacificans Care and our current core social service agencies “make a difference” for thousands of Pacificans during difficult times.

 

Our Mission

Pacificans Care makes a difference for our neighbors in need by supporting essential, safety-net, community-based social services to build an improved quality of life for the entire Pacifica community.

Pacificans Care Stands United Against Hate

In 1982 Pacificans Care was founded on a set of values that included inclusiveness, social equity, social justice, a broad view of community needs, and a strong commitment to mobilizing resources to meet those critical needs. Pacificans Care is committed to supporting social services that are inclusive of all children, youth, seniors, families, and groups of individuals in need of assistance.  Our community and country are struggling with the challenges of deep systemic racial inequity and social justice problems that continue to plague American society. Recognizing the Black Lives Matter movement, Pacificans Care will continue to be a catalyst for equality and positive social change.
