Double Your Gift, Double the Support for Local Families!

Dear Neighbor:

As we look forward to the New Year with hope for a better tomorrow, I invite you to join us in strengthening our community with a year-end gift to PRC. Your partnership is essential in our work to help more of our neighbors build their resilience and thrive.

And, your contribution will be matched up to $100,000 by a local, anonymous donor who is continuing their commitment to PRC and our community again this year. That means every $1 you give by December 31, 2025 is worth $2 to Pacifica Resource Center and the families we serve.

Our work continues to be vital given the high cost of living in our community. According to the 2025 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development standards, nearly half of Pacifica families are considered low-income, earning less than $156,650, or 80% of median income, for a family of four in San Mateo County (source: U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019–2023 American Community Survey). As a result, we have seen a 172% increase in services provided and we expect this demand to increase in response to current challenges to the social safety net, like this month’s federal SNAP freeze.

Your gift will help us keep food on the tables and roofs over the heads of our most vulnerable community members while growing our services to be more available, more often, to more people when they need us. Together, we are resilient and respond to threats to our community’s well-being with grit and grace. Together, #WeArePRC!
