Engage
Gratitude Boards
We invite our community to share what they’re grateful for.
You'll find Gratitude Boards at the AOERC, ACSR, and Redwood City locations — take a moment to pause, reflect, and add a note of appreciation.
We hope these boards offer a space to spread positivity, connect with others, and remind ourselves of the good around us.
Work remotely? No worries - share what you are grateful for here.
