From navigating the challenges of the COVID pandemic to responding to winter floods and a tragic mass shooting, one local group, known as ALAS, has been recognized for its work addressing these recent crises in San Mateo County.
ALAS, a non-profit organization has been serving the community for more than a decade. This summer, the organization received "Non-Profit of the Year" award from California lawmakers, recognizing its contributions.
According to the 2022 U.S. Census, more than one-third of Half Moon Bay's population identifies as Latino, with many individuals working in the agriculture and tourism industries. After coming to California for college and becoming a licensed clinical social worker, Belinda had a life-changing counseling session with a 10-year-old girl who lived in fear of her parents being deported.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, ALAS expanded its efforts, responding to the crisis with counseling, finding masks for farmworkers, and opening a food pantry that's still going strong.
