This Father's Day, send love AND make a difference. 💙

This Memorial Day, Pacifica Resource Center honors the brave men and women who sacrificed so much in service to our nation.

Their service doesn't end when they come home — and neither does our commitment to them. 42 of the clients we served last FY were veterans, and we are proud to offer resources and support for veterans and their families facing hardship.

If you know a veteran in the Pacifica area who could use assistance, please encourage them to reach out to us. Sometimes all it takes is one connection to change someone's path.

With deep gratitude and remembrance.
