Tis the season to open our hearts and nourish our neighbors!
State Senator Dr. Aisha Wahab and DSAL will host our 2nd Annual Turkey Giveaway for those in need at the DSAL Community Kitchen and small business incubator.
This unique, drive-through event is open to all Alameda County and Santa Clara County residents in need. In addition to a turkey, we also have free groceries to help residents prepare their holiday meals.
Dr. Wahab and DSAL are thankful to our partners for giving back and ensuring individuals and families have access to good food during the holiday season!
The Food Drive will be CLOSED the following week on 11/29/24.
We look forward to serving our community again in December.
Our Food Drives normal hours of operation are 1-3pm on Fridays.
Patricke's Famous Pies - Sweet Potato Pie and Peach Cobbler, Oh My!,
Patricke is not your average baker. Originally working at an unrelated job, he began making sweet potato pies in his spare time for family and friends to enjoy at gatherings.
Encouraged by their enthusiasm, he took a leap of faith and followed his passion, founding Patricke's Famous Pies in 2006. Using a cherished family recipe from his mother, Patricke perfected his craft, turning his passion into a thriving business.
Now, he dedicates his time to creating delicious pies for his loyal customers out of the DSAL Community Kitchen, sharing his love and joy of homemade sweet potato goodness with the community!
Check him out at @patricksfamouspies on Instagram and order some of his delicious pie for your holiday tables at www.patricksfamouspies.net
Boxing Participant Luis Valencia is DSAL’s Athlete of the Month
Luis has been knocking it out of the park in our Boxing program for two and a half years, showing up with dedication and a hunger for improvement every single time. In that time, he’s shed an impressive 30 pounds(!) and is now confidently participating in sparring sessions. His progress is a testament to his commitment, and we couldn’t be prouder of his achievements!
But for Luis, it’s not just about the physical transformation. He’s discovered a love of boxing! His favorite moment? Watching videos of himself sparring and seeing how far he’s come. It’s the perfect motivation to keep pushing forward, and the structure of our classes keeps him on track.
Luis also knows firsthand the power of boxing to change lives. He’s seen others kick unhealthy habits—like quitting smoking—to focus on their fitness, boosting their cardiovascular health in the process.
Another win for fitness, another victory for Luis!
Keep up the amazing work! 👊
