A MESSAGE FROM JACKIE

Dear Friends,

As the year comes to a close, I am reminded to slow down and enjoy the holiday spirit around me. It’s a chance to enjoy the company of family and friends, to celebrate the spirit of generosity and fellowship, and to reflect on our goals for the New Year. But more than that, it’s a chance for renewal—a fresh reminder that what really matters aren’t the material things in our lives, but the family and community that truly make life special.

This holiday season, I encourage you to keep your community in mind, and help out however you can. For thousands of people here in the Bay Area, the holidays are a time of profound need. And while our economy continues to improve, too many people are being forgotten and left behind.

If you can, I encourage you to support your local food bank or homeless shelter. San Francisco Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank provide assistance to 1 in every 10 people in the Bay area. Samaritan House offers emergency food, shelter, and healthcare to homeless and low-income families across San Mateo County. After the government shutdown in October, I dedicated a portion of my Congressional paycheck to each of these charities.

As we enter 2014, I am honored by your ongoing support and encouragement, and I pledge that I will not stop fighting for the values we share. There is much we can accomplish together over the next year.

Have a safe and joyous holiday.

All the best,

Jackie Speier
