Donation from Rockridge Kids

The Arab Cultural and Community Center has a long-standing presence in the city of San Francisco, yet over the years our programs and services have spilled over to benefit the greater Bay Area. The same is true of our community partnerships. These partnerships and contributions from local business owners have been vital to serving our clients. This December, we worked on the case of a young social services client who had recently left a domestic violence shelter. As she started the difficult process of building a new life she prematurely gave birth to her child. Mother and child are both doing well now, but since the birth happened much earlier than expected both mother and the Center were unprepared to provide crucial necessities. The Center immediately turned to Rockridge Kids, an awesome, local business that has been in the community for over 30 years. The amazing staff at Rockridge Kids understood the urgency of our client's situation and donated warm gifts for the new December baby. Rockridge Kids only provides quality products that are gentle for new babies, which is especially important for a child as vulnerable as a newborn. Rockridge Kids, in conjunction with the Tulip Grove, also offers education and fitness courses for soon-to-be and new mothers. We are thankful for Rockridge Kids and their commitment to community and to maternal wellness. We encourage our ACCC members to patronize businesses like Rockridge Kids that invest in the community this holiday season and year round!
