Congratulations to one of our partner agencies, BANANAS, the child care resource and referral agency for families in northern Alameda County. Congratulations to Executive Director, Kym Johnson, and the entire BANANAS staff for being recognized by Vice President Kamala Harris and her team. We are proud to be in such great company serving families and child care providers in Alameda County!

All 4Cs offices are closed today in honor of Veterans Day. Thank you to all who serve and have served in our country's Armed Forces - we are thankful every day for your service and sacrifice.

We are just 3 weeks until Giving Tuesday. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 1st and join us for this global day of giving. Visit www.4calameda.org/givingtuesday to find out how you can make a difference to the families and child care providers we serve because caring for kids is essential.

Child care is essential in the recovery of our community. Why? Because if you don’t have child care, you can’t go to work. If you can’t go to work, we will continue to see business doors close. Child care matters, and child care is what will allow us to rebuild our community and the businesses that provide us food, clothing, and our essential needs. #childcarematters #childcareisessential #nochildcarenorecovery We are proud to partner with Children's Council in spreading the word: without child care, our communities don’t work.

Thank you to local fifth grader Dani on your generous donations to our Hayward Promise Neighborhoods families! We are grateful for our generous donors' support as we continue to serve families and community members in need. Thank you, Dani, for being a reminder of the season of giving for us all.
