Nutrition and Wellness at Fair Oaks -
Nourishing Neighbors. Strengthening Community
For 75 years, Peninsula Family Service (PFS) has helped Peninsula residents build brighter futures. Generous supporters before us made the investments that allow PFS to thrive today and to give thousands of residents a hand up.
Now it’s our turn. By investing in PFS programs, we can continue that legacy—supporting our neighbors, uplifting our community, and providing opportunities for health and wellness to all.
This year PFS is launching an initiative called “Nutrition and Wellness at Fair Oaks - Nourishing Neighbors. Strengthening Community.”
The need for healthy meals and wellness support at the PFS Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center in Redwood City is growing. We are raising funds to help feed more older adults—providing 6,500 additional meals this year. That’s 6,500 moments of comfort, health, and connection for neighbors who might otherwise go without.
Deliver over 20,000 hot meals each year, providing not just nourishment, but also connection, comfort, and community.
Offer one-on-one support with CalFresh enrollment, nutrition education, and access to vital health and wellness services, ensuring older adults can access a full range of food and wellness benefits available to them
Host Peer Counseling group support, technology training, and regular health screenings and clinics to help participants stay up to date on their blood pressure, vaccines, and dental care.
Participate in organized social activities, including monthly parties, an organic garden club, drum class, watercolor class, and a community space with games, puzzles, reading materials, and musical instruments.
Participate in weekly fitness classes, including yoga, Tai Chi, and Zumba.
Receive fresh produce, grown onsite in our organic garden, learn how to use the ingredients, and obtain distributions of bi-weekly groceries in partnership with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.
Visit the onsite hair salon for low-cost haircuts uplifting spirits.
These vital services require support. And we need your help. Your gift will expand access to healthy meals, connection, care, and longevity—and ensure that no one is turned away hungry.
Together, we can continue to nourish lives today and build a stronger tomorrow.
