From our Executive Director

A Year of Resilience,
Partnership, and Impact

Mike Kapono Stancil
Mike Kapono StancilExecutive Director, Daly City Partnership

As we reflect on the past year at the Daly City Partnership, I am continually inspired by the strength, compassion, and unwavering solidarity that define our community. Every day, our neighbors step up for one another, and it is the privilege of our entire team to walk alongside them — bridging gaps, fostering opportunity, and ensuring that every individual and family in Daly City, Colma, and Broadmoor has the resources they need to thrive.

This past year has been a period of profound growth and intentional evolution. We deepened our core safety-net programs, expanded vital partnerships, and reached new milestones in how we deliver support directly to our most vulnerable residents. At the same time, we recognize that our community faces ongoing economic and social headwinds — and your continued support and involvement is of the utmost importance.

“Please do not turn away during this challenging time.” Mahalo — Mike Kapono Stancil, Executive Director
01

Strengthening food security

Through innovative partnerships — including our expanded senior grocery-delivery collaboration via DoorDash’s Project DASH — 160+ homebound seniors now receive consistent, nutritious food without barriers.

02

Investing in youth & families

Family Resource Day brought volunteers, local leaders and generous donors together to send more than 500 neighbors from 122 households into the school year with backpacks and supplies.

03

Cultivating cultural community

The Kapwa Cultural Center completed its transition into an independent 501(c)(3) — honoring grassroots leadership and cementing a lasting community asset that first took root at DCP.

Family Resource Day 2026

Growing to Meet the Need

Need for our services has more than doubled since 2018 — from 8,479 neighbors in 2018–19 to 18,500+ this year. Month after month, new clients walk through our doors for the first time: families, seniors and neighbors who never expected to need help. Because of you, someone is here to meet them.

Maria’s story

In May 2026, Maria and her daughter were evicted from their Daly City apartment. She kept working. She kept searching. But in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, a paycheck wasn’t enough.

Then she met Jorge, one of our case managers. Together they built a plan — and when a new place opened up, your support covered the deposit and first month’s rent, the last barrier between Maria and a home. Today, she and her daughter have a door of their own to come home to.

Neighbors picking up fresh produce at the DCP pantry

Our services · Food

Keeping 4,400 Kitchens Stocked

No neighbor should have to choose between rent and groceries.

Because of you, families picked up groceries and fresh produce at our pantry every week of the year — and seniors and neighbors with disabilities who can’t make the trip got deliveries at home. Second Harvest of Silicon Valley and Peninsula Food Runners helped keep the shelves full.

A neighbor’s story

Janice, 73, had been retired a few years when rising prices made it time to look for other resources. Then she drove past our pantry and saw the line. She asked, heard we distribute food, and signed up on the spot — almost three years ago now.

“It’s great. I’m happy — all the fruits and vegetables. Especially with the cost of everything.” — Janice, 73, Daly City

Fatima and her children, 2026

Our services · Rent, Bills & Housing

A Safety Net
Under Every Lease

When a single setback hits, emergency help keeps neighbors housed.

In San Mateo County, 3 in 4 extremely low-income households spend more than half their income on housing. As one of eight CORE agencies in the county, DCP is often the first call — your support helps cover rent, deposits and utilities while a family gets back on its feet.

Fatima’s story

Fatima is raising three kids on her own, and some months the rent is out of reach. When an eviction notice arrived, she knew where to turn — she’d first come to DCP for diapers. Her case manager sat with her through every step of an emergency rent application until it was approved. Her family is staying in their home, and a $200 transportation card helps her get to the work she can find.

“I was desperate to pay the rent. I’m a single mother with three kids — and they helped me.” — Fatima, Daly City mother of three

A counseling session with a DCP clinician

Our services · Counseling & Mental Health

Nearly Twice as many neighbors found someone to talk to

Counseling in your language, whatever your insurance.

Stress, grief, parenting, the weight of making ends meet — neighbors carried it all through our doors this year. In San Mateo County, poor mental-health days have nearly doubled in a decade, and 1 in 6 adults had no one to turn to. Because of you, our team grew from 16 to 19 clinicians over the year — and to 23 today — meeting neighbors in their own language, every session confidential.

Staff spotlight: Christine Ng

Christine interned with our mental-health team, returned after graduating from SF State as a volunteer Associate MFT, and now — 3,000 pre-licensure hours complete — runs You Are Not Alone, our monthly support group for parents and caregivers of children with special needs.

Ann, HART participant, 2026

Our services · Senior & Disability Support

Never Alone check-ins, groceries and a place to belong

Home visits, benefits help, grocery delivery and PEARLS for older neighbors and adults with disabilities.

In 2024, San Mateo became the first county in the nation to declare loneliness a public-health emergency — 45% of residents say they struggle with isolation. Our HART team answers with home visits, benefits help, grocery delivery and PEARLS, a proven short-term program that helps older adults ease depression and reconnect with what brings them joy.

Ann’s story: from isolated to involved

Before HART, Ann spent most days alone. One Digital Literacy class opened the door — and there she found connection, friendship and a reason to keep showing up. Today you’ll find her at Digital Literacy, PEARLS and Project DASH — and your support keeps those doors open.

“We all need a community. We need to get together and be together.” — Ann, HART participant

Kids working together at the Our Second Home after-school program, 2026

Our services · Kids, School & Family

A Second Home for kids after the bell

Homework help, summer camp and support for the whole family, in one place.

In Daly City, 1 in 10 children live below the federal poverty line, and more than 1 in 3 live in households earning less than twice that — nearly double the county rate. At Our Second Home, homework help, tutoring, enrichment and summer camp keep kids learning after the bell, while parents find language classes and referrals. After-school programming is DCP’s flagship — it’s how DCP began.

The Cheung family’s story

Darren Cheung first brought Morris, Candace and Elyse to our summer program when they were small, shy and still finding their confidence. The family kept coming back — summer after summer, then winter break, art and cooking classes as the kids grew. “The difference has been incredible,” Darren says. “My children have become more confident, more talkative, and more excited about learning.”

“It truly feels like a second home for them, and as a parent, that means everything.” — Darren Cheung, Our Second Home parent

Basic Needs that stretch a family budget

Diapers, clothing and household goods — free, and given with dignity.

Diaper Club meets the first Friday of every month at 350 90th Street. Pats’ Closet gives clothing and home goods to families, seniors on fixed incomes and neighbors experiencing homelessness.

“Daly City Partnership’s support means a lot to me and my kids. We’re grateful for everything they’ve done.” — Kimberley, a mother of three who first came to DCP for diapers and clothing

In-kind support: a powerful community investment

Donated food, clothing and thousands of volunteer hours make up more than half of our total revenue. Because in-kind support would overshadow every other source, it’s left out of the chart above — so the mix of government and foundation grants, contracts and individual gifts is easier to see. Percentages are rounded and may not total exactly 100%.

“I donate to DCP because of its deep commitment to serving the community through essential housing, mental health, food security, and education programs.”
