In just a few short months, our time at 895 2nd Ave. will end, and we will be in a different location by the start of the next school year. Although we had high hopes and planned to make this location our long-term community space for our families, gentrification and displacement are affecting us at a critical time. We believe it is a blessing in disguise.
We are in discussions with a property owner whose building keeps us in the vicinity of one of the largest schools in our area. This has been our hope! Please stand with us through this transition at the end of September. We are believing for a miracle to purchase the building at some point, but that requires a bit more time and strategic conversations with funders. We are trusting God to make this dream a reality! As of now, we are looking to lease a detached section of this building, and we hope to stay in this location and not have to transition again.
We are calling on all our friends to join us in this endeavor. Let’s spend time together encouraging our community. Stop by and introduce us to people who might want to be a part of our amazing story!
We are thrilled to have a $50,000 match from a generous donor and are more committed than ever to empowering and advocating for families. Join us for prayer this Friday, 4/19 at 895 2nd Avenue at 9:30 a.m. as we trust Him for our next location.
We hosted our annual Easter egg hunt on Thursday, 3/28, at Stanford Park across the street and had a great time! Thank you to our incredible volunteers, partners, and families who showed up to help us and drop off donations. Special thanks to SM County Sheriffs Javier Acosta, Rodney Reed, and Joaquin Moren. Thank you to SAL (Sheriff’s Activity League), Mason Lok, and the youth team, who blessed the event with volunteers. Our staff worked hard to make this event successful for all families who joined us.
Welcome, Raissa & Ana Betty!

Volunteer Call to Action
As we head into the final few weeks of school, we are calling on all volunteers to support our students in finishing the school year strong! We need your help playing games, reading, doing art projects, and being present with our AEC students. Can you spare an hour or two in the coming weeks? Our center is open Mon-Thurs from 3-6 pm.
