Thank you to our year-end supporters!

As we start 2023, PRC also adopted our 2023-2025 strategic plan to expand our services and exploring new ways to support the resilience and well-being of families and individuals in Pacifica and along the coast. Together, we will work to achieve our vision that every person in our community lives with dignity and has the opportunity to thrive. More information about our strategic plan is coming soon!

Make a Year-End gift to PRC!

As 2022 comes to an end, we ask that you join us in starting 2023 strong by making a year-end gift to PRC. Your support is critical as we continue to help strengthen the resilience and wellbeing of our neighbors while they work to overcome the rising cost of living in our beautiful and unique community.

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!

Next year, we will implement our new strategic plan, which further confirms what we are seeing – more Pacificans could use our support. Together, we will provide more robust services, increasing grocery deliveries, housing-centered case management, and onsite services at schools, libraries, and senior housing in Pacifica.

Give to PRC today and reinforce our vision that every member of our community is economically secure and has the opportunity to thrive. We are neighbors helping neighbors! #WeArePRC! All gifts are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law; our tax ID is 81-1496989.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!
