About Us
MISSION: Our mission is to transform the lives of Coastsiders experiencing homelessness through meaningful employment, skills training, community-building, food justice, health and sobriety resources, housing referrals and other supports, enacted through three program branches: Full Circle Food Justice, Coastside Clean Team, and services at the Workforce Development Center.
VISION: Abundant Grace Coastside Worker (AGCW) envisions a day when all of our neighbors experiencing homelessness are housed, employed, fed high-quality food and in good health as they pursue their own meaningful life as a valuable member of the local community.
Full Circle
Food Justice
Full Circle Food Justice – Our signature program is a partnership with Potrero Nuevo Farm, south of Half Moon Bay. Each week, we bring individuals experiencing homelessness to the Farm where they can participate in three different projects:
• Farm Work Days
• Farm Apprenticeship
• Conservation Crew
Coastside
Clean Team
We engage people experiencing homelessness to clean the beaches and coastal trails thanks to a contract with the City of Half Moon Bay. We also work with the homeless community to identify and clean abandoned encampments. We pick up an astounding 140,000 pounds of trash annually! It’s a great program for the city, our neighbors and the homeless community.
Workforce Development Center
The WDC is the hub of all our services and of homelessness services in the area, and we intentionally craft a space that is inviting, inclusive and supportive. It offers a wide range of resources including access to the kitchen, showers, laundry, food, clothing room, laptops and WiFi access, limited storage and mail service, personal care items, bicycle repair…
Our Newsletter
Abundant Grace transforms lives through our job-readiness programming: taking people experiencing homelessness to grow and harvest over 15,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce for free distribution to low-income families at our Full Circle Food Justice Program; and to clean up the environment on the beaches and trails of Half Moon Bay on the Coastside Clean Team. We are doing good, meaningful work together; we are making a difference in our community; we are transforming our very selves. Please be a part of this unique project. Make common cause with us. We can't do it alone - we need your participation and support.
