While these are incredibly trying times for all of us, I am blown away by the generosity and spirit of our community, the heroics of our staff and volunteers and the breathtaking intensity of sudden need among the most vulnerable residents of our community. I want to update you on how this ever-evolving situation has affected CSA, as well as critical client needs.
DetailsCSA has put into place a number of changes to adapt to the ever-evolving situation with COVID-19 and the Shelter-In-Place order. Most noticeably, the lobby is currently closed to the general public, but the agency is hard at work behind closed doors to continue to assist those in need while protecting clients, volunteers, and staff.
DetailsCSA’s Associate Director Nicole Fargo Nosich and attorney/civic leader Laura Blakely, were honored as Athena Award winners earlier this month by the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce. The Athena Award is an international honor given for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills.
DetailsWith the holiday season just around the corner, the CSA team is already gearing up for the annual gift distribution event for CSA client families on December 14 and 15. Food donations and gift cards from VISA, Target, Walmart, Amazon etc. are especially appreciated.
DetailsAutumn brings thoughts of cool crisp days, pumpkin patches, warm apple pie and harvest time. It also ushers in a season of gratitude and a time of reflection. Thinking about this past year at CSA and our Food & Nutrition Center (FNC), we want to take this opportunity to thank the many wonderful businesses and organizations we work with throughout the year who help to bring the harvest to our table. Our program served nearly 700,000 pounds of food to over 3,600 people in our community last year – a feat we could not have done by ourselves as it truly takes a village to care.
DetailsWe are delighted to honor Atlassian as one of our 2019 Hometown Heroes at our awards breakfast on Thursday, September 12 at the Computer History Museum. Pictured at left – Atlassian employees recently participated in a team-building event to create sculptures from 4,000 cans of food which were then donated to CSA.
