Letter from the CEO & Board President
Dear friend of 4Cs,
Last October, 4Cs of Alameda County hosted a party to celebrate fifty years of service to the community. The evening was filled with friends, family, current and former Board members and clients, elected officials, supporters, and funders. It was an evening of joy and celebration, of learning and generosity, and of surprises and heartwarming stories and testimonials. Looking around, it was clear that 4Cs of Alameda County is more than just a nonprofit providing services and programs to help families and uplift the child care community. 4Cs of Alameda County is a warm, vibrant, inclusive space that welcomes all and plays a pivotal role in the success of so many.
On the heels of a year of fiftieth anniversary celebrations, earlier this year, 4Cs of Alameda County staff and leadership joined together to develop a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Commitment Statement that solidified 4Cs dedication to remaining the inclusive, welcoming space for all we have been for decades. In this statement that you can read in this report, we captured the essence of 4Cs of Alameda County’s dedication to uplifting staff, clients, and the greater community through a DEIB lens. We are committed to “walking the walk” as we march forward providing programs, services, advocacy and hope to help our clients thrive.
Whether parents are looking for child care options that fit their needs, help paying for child care, diapers, food, navigation, classes, workshops, playgroups, or a car seat installation check, 4Cs is here to support. We give child care providers a space to learn, grow, and attend trainings, and give them tools to improve the quality of care at their sites.
Community members of all kinds turn to 4Cs of Alameda County for the most basic necessities such as food and free tax preparation and filing. All of these service are provided by a team of 75 staff strong who represent our diverse cities and care deeply about the families we serve.
No matter how you are connected to 4Cs, we are so glad to have you as a part of our community. Whether a major donor or funder or a parent or provider reaching out for the first time, you are what makes the 4Cs community so vibrant, dynamic and special. Thank you for your generous support so we can continue to serve Alameda County for the next fifty years and beyond.
