Dear Community:

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, but a hopeful spirit.

Since 2020, our Meal Program has provided over 800,000 meals to seniors that are low-income, homebound/socially isolated, and with limited mobility within our community. For them, this has been their only source of nourishment.

With the recent elimination of government funding, 250 of these seniors will find themselves without meals, and we are at risk of shutting down this essential service without immediate support.

Superhero Matching

We have a generous Superhero matching for the first $10,000 raised by the end of January 2026. Be a Hero and Double Your Impact by donating now!

We invite you to be a superhero and help nourish these seniors today, and here’s how you can be a champion:

A gift of $250 provides a month of meals for one individual.
A donation of $2,000 sponsors one senior for an entire year.
A supporting amount of your choice.
You can also join our special Sponsor a Senior Club with any amount you choose as a monthly contribution. Every contribution makes a significant impact in ensuring our seniors are welcomed to the table.

Thank you for your deep care for our seniors. Your generosity means more than you can imagine, especially during this critical time.

With gratitude,
Art Choi
Program Manager, MARU Center [Formerly: Korean Community Center of the East Bay]
