Big News for seniors in San Carlos! In our 2025 grant cycle, the Foundation awarded a $15,000 grant to Villages of San Mateo County (VSMC) to support their mission of helping older adults lead vibrant, healthy, and fulfilling lives in their own homes. 76 San Carlos residents currently utilize 26% of all VSMC direct services. This funding also helps 67 local, vetted volunteers continue providing the "neighbor-to-neighbor" support that makes San Carlos so special. From door-to-door rides to medical appointments to minor home repairs that keep our seniors safe, VSMC is dedicated to eliminating barriers to aging in place.

💙 And just like that… San Carlos Week of the Family is a wrap.👏👏

Over the past week+, our community showed up in all the best ways — tasting local beer and wine 🍺🍷, eating at neighborhood restaurants 🌮🍝, making art 🖌️, solving puzzles 🧩, learning something new, playing games, and spending real time together across 39+ events all around San Carlos.

This week truly wouldn’t have been possible without our Presenting Partner, PNC Bank, and our Fiscal & Funding Partner, Community Foundation of San Carlos. Your support made it possible to bring these experiences to life for families, neighbors, residents and visitors throughout our city.

And thank you to our other sponsors, participating local businesses, event chairs, the SCWOF Board, our webpage host Tim King, and our incredible leader Susan Rose for rallying everyone together & making every event feel thoughtful, welcoming, inclusive to all, and uniquely San Carlos.

Most of all — thank you to everyone who came out, tried something new, brought a friend, brought a kid, or just decided to show up. 🫶🏻

39+ events. One amazing community. A whole lot of good living.

💙 We can’t wait to celebrate with you again next year!

A perfect way to close out the week.💓

Tonight’s Community Supper at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany marked the final event of San Carlos Week of the Family — the close of 39+ events held across the city over the past week.

This gathering wasn’t about religion. It was about people. Neighbors who didn’t know each other sitting down together, sharing a taco bar meal, and having real conversations guided by thoughtful prompts about joy, memories, influence, and what makes San Carlos feel like home.

A community puzzle sat nearby all evening — an easy, low-pressure way to participate, pause, and connect in small moments between conversations.

Kids, adults, seniors — all ages, all backgrounds, one shared table. After a full week of events, this felt like exactly the right ending: slower, warmer, and rooted in connection.

💙 39+ events. One community. A week well spent.

Today’s SCWOF Boondoggle Scavenger Hunt was pure, joyful chaos in the best way.

With 26 teams crisscrossing town, solving clues, chasing facts, and racing the clock, the energy was high from start to finish.

Teams brought strategy, teamwork, and just the right amount of competitive spirit.

Huge congrats to our winning team —" Silly Ssscurr Ls" — who absolutely understood the assignment and took the top spot 🏆

This is exactly what Week of the Family is about: getting out, doing something different, and turning San Carlos into one giant game board for the afternoon.

👏 Well played, everyone. Well Played

🎨 This is what a Sunday done right looks like.

Today’s First Sundays Open Studios with Art Bias, as a part of , was a true choose-your-own-adventure afternoon — families exploring 20+ artist studios, browsing contemporary artwork throughout the space, and jumping into hands-on art activities like felting, sketching, and Valentine-themed making.

There was plenty to linger for, too — pop-ups from Kitchen Table Travel Co and Nina’s Home Bakery.

It was creative, welcoming, and exactly the kind of low-pressure, high-reward community moment San Carlos Week of the Family is all about.

💙💜 Art, connection, and showing up together.
