We're all smiling this morning! Kat Ross, Manager of our Mt. View Family Shelter, was at the Bank of Contra Costa and Solano to accept a grant check from Theresa Pate, their Remote Services Administrator. This generous grant will allow SHELTER, Inc. to purchase two refrigerators to store healthy snacks and beverages for our families at our shelter. We are grateful for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano's Investment in our organization - and the people we serve.

Our Director of Development, Donalda Watson-Walkinshaw, opted to take this shot of these women who are dedicated to helping others in our community. What a great way to start the day! 🔆

I had a wonderful experience at Dublin Ace Hardware on Saturday — and I want to share it.

I stopped in to purchase a Craftsman rolling toolbox set and was greeted by C.J., the Assistant Store Manager, and a team that was genuinely kind and attentive from start to finish. That kind of customer experience is worth acknowledging.

What made the visit even more meaningful: Dublin Ace Hardware participates in a Round Up program that benefits SHELTER, Inc., the organization I have the privilege of serving as Director of Development. As I checked out, I learned that customers are not limited to rounding up to the nearest dollar — you can choose to give more. So I did. The process took seconds and could not have been easier.

If you find yourself at Dublin Ace Hardware, I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. Every contribution — large or small — supports our work to prevent and end homelessness across Contra Costa, Solano, Sacramento, and Marin counties. And C.J.'s team will make sure your visit is a good one. I will certainly be back.

Supporting our partners that support our mission.

🏠 NEW YEAR, NEW LIVES CAMPAIGN 🏠

This new year, let's give Bay Area families a fresh start. Right now, thousands of children go to sleep uncertain of where they'll wake up. Nearly 60% of them are unsheltered—living in cars, tents, or places not meant for habitation.

But you can help give them a new beginning.

Through emergency shelter, case management, parenting education, employment support, and financial literacy programs, we help families rebuild their lives from the ground up.

Last year, 78% of families we served transitioned to stable housing within six months—gaining not just a home, but stability, dignity, and hope for the future. With a 35% increase in families seeking help, we're at capacity almost every night.

We need to raise $500,000 by February 28th to meet our goal.

No child should spend another night wondering where they will sleep.
