On November 14, 2024 we celebrated the Day Worker Center of Mountain View’s 28th anniversary! For a second year in a row, we came together at the Garden House in Los Altos to share an evening filled with music, food, raffles and community as we honored the dedication and contributions of workers. On behalf of the Day Worker Center, thank you to everyone that joined us and helped make the celebration possible!
Our theme of the evening was “Thriving Together”
Special thanks to:
