Firstly, we will start you off with a delicious homemade vegan dinner and a beverage. Then we get to leatherwork! Yes, you can make a leather crossbody! We choose cute, but simple designs. The result is a bag which you will love &amp; use! We make sure that the classes and designs are accessible for a first timer . You will learn some basic leather work skills and walk about with your very own handmade crossbody bag. Along the way you get to make some key design decisions - on straps, closures &amp; hardware. So the bag you walk away with is unique and yours. The bag itself has a removable strap (choose between leather or guitar strap), and an inside pocket. A choice of colors of high grade leather be available. 30% of the leather we use was previously disgarded, and we strive hard to keep waste to a minimum.

Samaritan House

For the security guard sleeping in his car. Or the teacher whose emergency room visit put her a month behind on rent. Or the mom working three jobs to make sure her kids have food and clothes. For all who are struggling to make ends meet, Samaritan House is here to help. For over 50 years, Samaritan House has been leading the fight against poverty in San Mateo County. We are the only organization that delivers essential services and personalized support to connect the people living in poverty among us to the full range of resources and services they need. More than just ensuring our clients are fed, clothed, healthy, and housed, we help them create their own stability and remain an active, successful part of the community. Over recent years, more and more families in San Mateo County have been thrust into poverty. From the COVID-19 pandemic, to increasing wealth inequality, to the impacts of inflation and the housing crisis, the financial pressures on our neighbors have grown. Through it all, Samaritan House has been here to help – keeping pace with the demand and opening up new possibilities for people living in poverty. Though the road ahead is uncertain, we remain steadfast to our commitment to helping over 32,000 of our neighbors living in poverty every year. With each action, each conversation, and each new program we develop, we are Fighting poverty. Lifting lives.

A California cuisine restaurant with mediterranean leaning.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current
