When Carmy first walked into Edgewood’s Drop-In Center, they thought they were just getting a tour. What they found instead was a community.

Between work and daily challenges, Carmy discovered essentials like food, hygiene items, and bus tokens, and something deeper: a safe, judgment-free space to rest, recharge, and simply be themself.

This is what belonging looks like. And it’s only possible because of supporters like you.
Your gift ensures that young adults like Carmy have a place to turn when they need support, connection, and hope. Because everyone deserves to feel a sense of belonging.

✨ Read Carmy’s story and help us keep these doors open for young adults who need connection and hope in our Impact Report: https://impact2025.edgewood.org/

Yesterday, our friends at Grosvenor brought back one of our favorite holiday traditions at Edgewood: the Gingerbread House Extravaganza! ✨🍕🏠
Volunteers and our Vicente Street campus youth came together to share pizza, listen to holiday music, and build the sweetest gingerbread creations—filling our space with laughter, creativity, and connection.
A huge thank you to the Grosvenor team for spending the afternoon with us and making the season a little brighter for our youth. We’re so grateful for your partnership and holiday spirit. 🎄

Because of you, grandparents like Debra can find hope.

When Debra became guardian to her grandchildren, Dreama and Derek‑Steve, a family crisis became a story of love, resilience, and healing through Edgewood’s Kinship Program. With therapy, guardianship assistance, and respite care, Debra found the support she needed to create stability and joy for her family.

Today, Dreama and Derek‑Steve laugh freely, surrounded by love and security, and Debra shares, “Edgewood helped me take care of my grandkids, but they also helped me take care of myself.”
This Giving Tuesday, your gift supports Kinship and the many programs that serve thousands of youth and families each year. And thanks to The Grace Magill Fund and our Board of Directors, every gift will be matched dollar‑for‑dollar, up to $26,891, doubling your impact for families like Debra’s.

Give today and help more caregivers and children find hope.

This Giving Tuesday, we honor 20 years of the Grace Magill Fund—a legacy born from one young girl’s boundless compassion and belief in giving. At just 10 years old, Grace donated her life savings of $14 to Edgewood. By 12, she was volunteering, tutoring, and lifting others through her conviction that “the most satisfying thing about donating is helping to enrich someone else’s life.”
Though her time was heartbreakingly short, Grace’s light still shines brightly, fueling programs in art, mindfulness, education, and family support that help young people heal and thrive. Learn more about Grace’s legacy and why Edgewood’s youth mental health mission matters from her mother, Anne Magill—Edgewood Former Board President, Former Auxiliary President, volunteer, and major donor.

As we celebrate two decades of Grace’s impact, we invite you to carry her spirit forward by joining our Giving Tuesday matching campaign. Every gift will be matched dollar‑for‑dollar, up to $26,891 through The Grace Magill Fund and our Board of Directors—doubling your impact for children and families who need it most.

Give boldly for youth mental health and help Grace’s light shine on.

Gratitude in action! Thank you to the Rotary Club of San Bruno and our amazing community volunteers for hosting a warm and welcoming Thanksgiving feast for youth from Edgewood’s two Transitional Age Youth Drop-In Centers.

This Thanksgiving, we are grateful for our Edgewood family. In this season of gratitude, our campus welcomed 70+ community members for a holiday meal that carried deeper meaning than ever before. Many of the families we serve through our Kinship and Family Resource Centers have been hit hard by the government shutdown and the freezing of SNAP benefits, leaving food insecurity at an all-time high. For several families, this was the only Thanksgiving meal they will have.
We also know that the possibility of ICE activity kept some of our community members at home. The families who felt safe enough to join us experienced a warm, affirming community moment at a time when they needed it most.
One of the true highlights was the collective spirit of service. Our incredible Auxiliary led the effort with trademark hospitality and generosity, joined by mothers and sons from Service Corps and mothers and daughters from the National Charity League. Together, they created beautiful decorations, served meals, and wrapped our families in care.
The joy on families’ faces, children smiling, parents relaxing for a moment, and everyone sharing a sense of belonging, reminded us why our mission matters: at the hardest moments for families, Edgewood shows up.
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for being part of this community.
