Pictures from our
Brunch in The Garden at Filoli
Thank you to everyone who joined us for ‘Brunch in the Garden’ at Filoli on June 17th, and to all who participated in helping us to reach our fundraising goals. We are grateful for the support and enjoyed having the opportunity to spread the word about the work we are doing here at CALL Primrose.
Photos from the event are available through the link below, which will take you to a slide show created by CALL Primrose client, Michael, who shared his personal story with us that afternoon. Your support is what enables us to continue to help Michael, and others like him who are facing difficult times. You have made a difference!
Enjoy the photos!
OUR PURPOSE
CALL Primrose is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation providing free grocery assistance to low income families and individuals in San Mateo County.
Founded in 1983 as an information and referral hotline for those in need within our community, CALL soon became a drop in location in downtown Burlingame for those seeking emergency assistance.
Our mission is to compassionately address the issues of hunger and food insecurity within our community by providing free, healthy groceries to those in need.
In 2022 CALL Primrose was able to serve over 78,000 individuals in need by directly providing more than 106,000 bags of groceries.
CALL Serves Individuals, Families, Seniors and those who are In Transition/Unhoused
Anyone in need of grocery assistance is welcome!
