Dear Friends,
As this Sunday, May 10, 2020, is Mother's Day, I would like to recognize all of our hard-working mothers and matriarchs of the family during these times of distress.
Year-long, I witness Davis Street's moms' strength, resilience, and hard work to provide food and shelter for their children and family. COVID-19 has made an even more dramatic impact on their lives, leading to loss of jobs, loss of homes, less or no income for food and supplies, and the added task of homeschooling due to school closures.
As a mother of 3 children, I can truly say a mom’s job is never done, and I understand the challenges that Davis Street's moms endure during economic hardships. Through these difficult times, our moms are not giving up, and instead working even harder to support their families. Please join me in thanking and honoring their courage by supporting our matriarchs this Mother's Day.

Meet Ed Hernandez. Over the last 5 years, as a neighbor and San Leandro City Council member, he's supported Davis Street in helping provide over $50,000 in local resources including supporting programs such as Bikes for Tykes, Holiday Basket Program and Toy Drive, Back to School Drive, expansion for our daycare services, and the annual fundraising Gala. During these trying times, he's remained committed to helping our most vulnerable in the community by volunteering weekly to provide food for those in need. Thank you, Ed, we appreciate all that you do.
