At CCD, we believe in the power of communities to keep themselves safe. We envision a future where residents are empowered to protect and support one another, without relying solely on law enforcement. "We should be the ones that step up and protect our grandmothers and grandfathers." Through community-led initiatives and partnerships, we are working to make this vision a reality in Woodside and beyond.
As we celebrate the grand opening of our Woodside office, we are filled with hope and optimism for the future. Together with our partners, volunteers, and community members, we will continue to strive for positive change and empowerment.
