Bayside Community Center

What they do & why we invested

Bayside Community Center provides emergency food distributions, critical case management, and after-school literacy programs to vulnerable Linda Vista residents. Due to the pandemic, Bayside’s funding has been impacted by a loss in grant sources, decreased fee for service, and disrupted fundraising. Bayside has since pivoted its team’s focus to grant writing and increasing fee-for-service revenue. At the same time, the pandemic has prompted an increased demand for their services, which have had to shift to virtual and safe in-person delivery. The loan funding contributes to emergency purposes and will help Bayside keep all of its staff on during this critical time.
