San Mateo County 2023 Agricultural Crop Report ~ Vegetable harvest up $6M.
Inflation and the high cost of living has San Mateo County residents turning to Food Banks. The Supervisors recently provided $2M in crucial funding. I know there are food distributions at Coastside Hope, Pillar Ridge mobile home park, the Library, Abundant Grace and the ALAS house. Am I missing any? If you have time, volunteer. Puente.
The San Mateo County Supervisors adopted a resolution establishing a Domestic Violence High-Risk Multidisciplinary Team. The Executive office will now develop staffing, training and funding.
San Mateo County’s Commission on the Status of Women calls for durable & coordinated investment in child care, women’s equity and financial literacy. The movement is called “Fund the Future”. Without affordable child care, moms can’t get the best job they might be qualified for. If they can’t get the best job, then they can’t thrive and nor will their kids. The Commission made recommendations, all of which mean nothing without consistent funding.

When they get grant funding … and grant hunting costs staff time and the Coastside rarely meets the grant’s competitive requirements. Grab a bucket.
