During times of uncertainty, ALAS responds to urgent needs, creating safety, belonging, hope.
Giving Activity
Mission
ALAS is dedicated to working for social wellness through multicultural practices, mental health care, individualized and collective support related to education, immigration processes, and work, and advocating for the wellbeing of the whole community.
Needs
Our focus this year is to provide our community with essential wellness programs that support our most vulnerable populations. This includes no-cost summer programs for school-aged children, cultural arts programs that strengthen community connection and identity, and programs for our senior members that support daily wellbeing through social activities, mental health group sessions, and opportunities to share life experiences in a space where they feel heard and valued.
In addition, ALAS supports over 475 families each month through our culturally appropriate food pantry. As the cost of basic food continues to rise at unprecedented levels, many families on the Peninsula are struggling to afford healthy meals while also keeping a roof over their heads.
