And, a local, anonymous donor is continuing their commitment to PRC and our community by matching your contributions up to $50,000. That means every $1 you give by December 31 is worth $2 to Pacifica Resource Center and the families we serve, helping them feed their families, keep a roof over their heads, and become more financially stable.
Our work is even more vital as inflation and housing costs continue to rise in San Mateo County. For example, now more than half of Pacifica families earned less than $149,100 – the US Department of Housing's low-income threshold for a family of 4 (source: U.S. Census Bureau's 2016-2020 American Community Survey). As a result, we have seen a 274% increase in service requests and your gift will help meet this growing demand!
