Making New COnnections
StreetCode Academy:
Awarded 2021 #1 Non-Profit in the CA Senate 13th District!Are you looking for ways to contribute "Good" to the challenges of racism? The St. Thomas Aquinas parish Human Concerns Committee is highlighting for you Street Code. They seek to empower communities of color in Silicon Valley with access to the era of technology through skills training, design, coding, entrepreneurship and other pathways to better job opportunities.
These highlights may appeal to your desire to learn more, support with personal engagement and possibly provide financial assistance. It is another way we can become more aware and actively involved improving the lives and future opportunities for these local youth.
Let us work together translating our faith into making a "GOOD" difference for all people!

Seton Book Drive
We just received word from Carmel Caligaris that to date just over $3,100 has been donated parish wide to purchase new books. The school plans to distribute them to 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade with enough $ remaining to create a summer reading incentive program with books as a reward.
Thanks to all TMC for such tremendous support and assistance…

Your Unused Bicycles Can Make a BIG Difference!!
https://www.liveinpeace.org/bike-shop#bike-shop-intro
If you, family and friends have unused bicycles, the Live in Peace Bike Shop at 2524 Pulgas Ave., East Palo Alto will provide a new home! Your donated bikes in running condition will be refurbished then made available to people, many with no other transportation.
There is no cost for this Live in Peace community service but your bicycle will be reused to make a big difference in someone's daily life! A win for recycling and providing for people in need.
