TOGETHER Dear Center Community, The weather may be cooling but things are starting to heat up for our fall activities at the Center. Our theme this Fall is “Together”. Together we are diving into a season with kids going back to school, settling into new routines, and celebrating holidays. As you’ll see, we have activities catered to you this season as well as opportunities to go beyond the Center and help our community together. See you at the Center!

Beyond the Center...
TOGETHER
Stories fill the Center of members reaching out to each other. Whether supporting someone going through an injury or illness or celebrating milestones such as birthdays and job changes, we care about each other. It doesn’t stop here, the heartbeat of our community spills out beyond the Center. Each year members continually show their generosity to our City by giving time and resources to meet needs. Providing backpacks for students, serving families and schools in need are a few ways our community impacts Redwood City.
WHAT?
WHO?
You and your friends! This is the Serve Local Elementary School perfect way for your family to serve Cleaning, classroom upgrades, landscaping (we are partnering with another family and have fun! with principal and teachers and principal to meet specific needs) HOW? Invite family and friends (anyone WHEN? is welcome). Sign up online to be October 17-19 (sign up for 4-hour slots) on same team. Details coming in September...
Kennedy Christmas Project
In 2005 some middle school students began delivering gifts to Kennedy families in need. This small act of generosity has grown into a partnership between PCC and the Kennedy Family Center. PCC brings a Christmas “store” to pre-identified families to “shop” for clothes and items they’ve indicated as needs. Volunteers purchase these items in advance, label them for the families and bring them to the store. When families come, they pick up their items and wrap the gifts together with our PCC community. Child care is provided for children with games so parents can “shop”. After families wrap gifts, and share refreshments they load up their car with help from volunteers. This is a unique opportunity to give love, share and connect with real people in a tough spot.
December 13 Look for more details on how to sign up
My entire family has volunteered with Kennedy Christmas and and we look forward to helping each year. We enjoy meeting people from our community and people from PCC, and it’s a great way to give back. Kennedy Christmas helps frame the Christms season as something more than just a time to think about ourselves and our immediate families, and gives us an opportunity to show love to Redwood City families.” - Jenn Wong, Center member
and mom of three young boys.
