Our Mission & Strategy
for people in need
We support the mental, physical, communal, and spiritual wellbeing of East Palo Alto Pacific Islander families and groups that seek us out. Since 2017, 25-30% of our work is helping the growing number of underserved new arrivals, primarily Caribbean Islanders, Afro-Mexicans, and LGBQT. Since the Covid 19 outbreak those groups have grown to be 60% of our case load.
We accomplish this by partnering with EPA organizations to provide a culturally informed bridge to County healthcare, education, immigration rights, legal advice, and wider civic engagement. Spiritual well being is central to our culture and community. It is fostered in our work by ministerial guidance and prayer groups.
