We don't want #WomensHistoryMonth to end without a nod to the rich history of women & femme-led work that has driven community service for decades. We trace our roots to the Sisters of Social Services and continue today under the guidance of majority-femme executive and Board teams. Thank you to the women who give back to the community with regular generosity and dedication!
I had the privilege of speaking to a women's group recently and a member recalled having worn exactly this uniform -- well, with a different hat! Love our women leaders, past, present and future!

We believe that creating social connection for Seniors in West Oakland is a key factor determining health and quality of life. It's one of the reasons why St. Mary's is open six days a week and offers WeConnect digital literacy lessons so Seniors can also connect with family and community online.
