​Equity and Resilience
Guided by Jackie’s unwavering conviction that child poverty has no place here, we are breaking down barriers and equipping families with the tools they need to overcome challenges and create fulfilling lives.
The Baby Bonus Program is our moonshot challenge to address child poverty, starting with newborn babies in San Mateo County.
In August 2023, we hosted the San Mateo Rising: Ending Child Poverty Summit, featuring insights from Dr. Matthew Desmond and other experts. This gathering marked the beginning of our community-driven approach to ending child poverty.
In September of 2024, we began an ongoing diaper drive initiative engaging a team of local high school student volunteers.
