Friends,

Thank you for being part of our recent Silicon Valley Gives campaign. We’re waiting on the final numbers, but we know that over 360 donors gave between $130,000 and $140,000 to Puente.

Hurray!

Thanks to your generosity, Puente will continue to work for a healthy, inclusive, and sustainable South Coast community.

We will continue to advocate for the residents of Pescadero, La Honda, San Gregorio, and Loma Mar until every member of our community has access to housing, childcare, life-long education, medical care, and other services for a flourishing life. 

Thank you so much for your support and for your partnership in the future.

Gratefully,

The staff and board of Puente
