Expressions of Care and Kindness

In a world of increasing complexity, we foster expressions of care and kindness that are quiet, simple, and direct, creating space for the giving and receiving of small gifts of sustenance that strengthen the spirit of our community.

OUR VISION

A community that actively cares for the well-being of one another.

OUR MISSION

Foster community connection and support by bringing together those who have resources to share with those who need them most during the holiday season.

HOW WE WORK

We are neighbors helping neighbors, offering monetary support to individuals and families in need that brighten people’s days during the end-of-year holiday season.

Celebrating 70 Years of Service to our Community

For decades, our organization has been bringing holiday cheer to thousands of Palo Alto community members facing financial challenges.

‘This gift has definitely made a difference in our lives!  My hours at work have gone down significantly and I was very stressed as to how I could make Christmas work this year for my 4 children!  I now will be able to get them a gift and a good Christmas dinner!”

Meet Our Board

Green Envelope Fund is supported by an all-volunteer board that distributes funds raised each year to hundreds of families throughout Palo Alto.
