We are filled with gratitude and excitement as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of St. Francis Center of Redwood City.
This year, we celebrate 40 years strong, guided by community, a theme that reflects both where we have been and how we continue to move forward together.
For four decades, St. Francis Center has been rooted in the belief that strong communities hold the wisdom, resilience, and leadership needed to thrive. Our role has been to walk alongside community members, listen deeply, and support pathways defined by the people we serve. This shared work, grounded in dignity, trust, and mutual respect, has made us 40 years strong and has only been possible because of you.
In this anniversary year, we will find many special ways to celebrate our mission, honor the collective efforts of our community, and reflect on what we have built together. We will also look ahead, strengthening community-led programs, deepening partnerships, and advancing plans shaped by the voices and experiences of those closest to the challenges and opportunities in our community.
As we begin this New Year, please know how deeply grateful we are for your presence in this community of care. Whether you have volunteered, donated, shared your voice, or helped amplify the leadership of our community, you are an essential part of the St. Francis Center family and of the strength we celebrate this year.
We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you throughout the year and continuing our work together. We are 40 years strong, guided by community, inspired by hope, and full of abundant possibilities.
