For over 55 years, the Peninsula Jewish Community Center (PJCC) has worked to inspire a sense of community in San Mateo County, one of the wealthiest counties in North America, with over 37,000 Jewish residents and significant untapped philanthropic capacity. Situated between San Francisco and Palo Alto, the PJCC is also among the top 10 JCCs in North America. Based in a 12-acre home in Foster City, the PJCC’s goal is to provide programs and services that reinforce the values and proud traditions the Jewish community embraces.
