Our Programs
The Edward Boss Prado Foundation seeks to provide services and programs that are unique, fill a service gap, improve self-esteem and foster dignity and respect. Our programs benefit local organizations such as Youth alliance, CARAS and Boys and Girls Club, Rebecca’s Children’s Services, and many others. Find out more about our programs below.
Walking with Dignity
Coming soon!
Cecilia's Closet and Food Pantry
Cecilia’s Closet is for emergency room patients who don’t have clothing. We’ve worked with homeless patients who had clothes cut off, as well as a mom who gave birth and didn’t have a robe. We help patients who don't have clothing to leave the hospital, so they leave with dignity in addition to good health care.
No Child Goes Unfed
No Child Goes Unfed and Walking with Dignity will now be part of Cecelia’s Closet & Food Pantry
Other Programs
Christmas Toy Drive
Each year, we collect and buy brand new toys for ten elementary schools in Morgan Hill, including the charter school. The principals pick up the toys and distribute them to selected families.
Morgan Hill Police Hope Program
We fill up backpacks with food, hygiene items, and survival items like flashlights, hand warmers, scarfs, socks, etc. We support the migrant farm laborers in surrounding areas as far away as Watsonville with clothing.
Heart to Heart Dinners
On Sunday, challenged families can drive through and pick up a hot meal, including salad, bread, and drinks for the whole family. (COVID-19)
“For the Children” / Para Los Niños
Twice a week, families at Cecilia’s Closet can use free internet on their Chromebooks and receive tutoring and lunch. Latter-day Saints, including MH Gilroy Hollister, are the tutors. The kids are learning, and so are their parents! COVID-19 protocol is practiced, including a limit of one family per table and tables spaced six feet apart.
Fit for Fall Back to School
Coming soon!
Oktoberfest
Each year, we take old inventory out and bring it to the public so they can enjoy free, gently used clothing for the colder seasons.
Thanksgiving Dinner
Every Thanksgiving, we provide turkeys for South County families! Last year, we even included mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and veggies.
COVID-19 Gate to Gate Food Giveaway
In 2020, we provided drive-through groceries for those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
