Help us raise $110K by Mother’s Day

For the first time ever in 36 years, our Mother’s Day Run & Walk is going virtual in light of the current COVID-19 public health crisis. 100% of event proceeds support our mission. As you consider the needs and the impact that you can make on the surrounding community, please consider staying connected with Pajaro Valley Shelter Services and our families.

Our goal is $110,000 in critical funds to reach our Mother’s Day Run & Walk goal and raise additional Family Emergency Relief funds to help the 184 parents and children who are experiencing the economic impacts related to COVID-19. 

PVSS parents like Nineth and Jose are losing their jobs, perhaps permanently. Nineth called her PVSS case manager crying last week. She and her husband, parents of three children, lost their jobs and will not be able to pay rent and bills. Because they are undocumented, they do not qualify for any government support.

Every day, we are learning about new families losing their employment.

We are committed to keeping these families housed until they can get back on their feet, covering their rents and providing additional financial assistance as needed.
