A Dream for Our Children

This year, the staff at Mather Community Campus (MCC) have only one dream for the children that they serve, a multi-purpose sports court. The sports court could provide games of basketball, tennis, and even volleyball for the approximately 125 children currently residing with their families at MCC.  Anyone who had the opportunity to play sports as a child knows how beneficial it can be for children both physically and emotionally.

If you would like to make a donation for the MCC multi-purpose sports court, please contact Program Director Marilyn Valdez-Mann at 228-3138 or at mvaldez-mann@saehc.org

Our Family Shelter's truck has over 250,000 miles on it and is on its last legs. We use this truck to pick up large donations, to get furniture for families leaving the shelter, and to get our groceries every week.  If you have a used truck that still has a few good years left on it, please consider making a donation to our agency.  Call (916) 454-2120 x 302 or email donations@saehc.org for more information. 

*Please note: At this time, we are not able to accept clothes donations due to space limitations. We refer our clients to local free clothes closets like the Sacramento Food Bank on 3rd Avenue.

If you have a donation for SAEHC, please call or email first for clear coordination and location of the drop-off.
