Since 1950, Peninsula Family Service has touched over half a million lives. Our programs empower clients by helping them build the skills they need to thrive. As we begin our seventh decade, we at Peninsula Family Service are proud to provide services in multiple languages to nearly 20,000 clients of all ages. We currently operate various child development centers and run the Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center and offer programs for older adults, families, and financial empowerment programs. We are proud to offer services to residents throughout San Mateo County, the Peninsula, south counties and beyond.

Our 2025-26 Annual Report is here. This year asked a great deal of our community. Families faced uncertainty, funding for important services was at risk, and the cost of daily life kept rising. PFS responded the way we have for 76 years: we adapted, protected access to services, and showed up for children, families and older adults across San Mateo County.

Meeting the Moment looks back at the year through our four program areas, our year in numbers, and the generosity of the donors, partners, Auxiliaries and volunteers who made our response possible.

💰 Building Financial Confidence Starts Early!

Money skills are life skills—and Peninsula Family Service is helping young people build them early.

Our Youth Financial Workshops give teens ages 13–20 practical tools to navigate adulthood with confidence, from managing money and building credit to preparing for emergencies, reducing financial stress, and making responsible financial decisions.

Through this six-week program, young people gain the knowledge and confidence they need to take control of their financial futures. Because when young people have the right tools, they can build stronger, more secure futures. 💙

August was full of ocean discoveries for our little explorers! Through hands-on learning, children explored ocean animals, plants, sand, water, and habitats while building vocabulary and developing their language, creativity, fine motor, and social-emotional skills.

One of the highlights was creating an “Under the Sea” mural together! 🎨 The children painted the ocean, sand, plants, and sea animals while practicing teamwork, cooperation, and sharing as they brought their ideas to life.
