San Mateo PAL is proud to participate in #GivingTuesday.
This global day of giving invites individuals to celebrate the giving season by giving back and creating change in their communities and their world. Together, we can make a difference.
This year, the need for community is stronger than ever! We want our families to enjoy a festive holiday dinner and experience the joy of the holiday season - especially those who may be struggling during this crisis.
Your support on #GivingTuesday - and every day - allows us to fulfill our mission to "Build the Bond between Cops & Kids" and be a safety net for our community.
COVID-19 Update
During these uncertain times San Mateo PAL is excited to be offering virtual classes to continue our mission of keeping the community engaged and active. We hope your family stays safe and healthy knowing we’re just a click away!
