Find Community Resources

To protect the health of our San José community, MACLA is taking action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in accordance with the Order issued March 31, 2020 from the County of Santa Clara’s Public Health Department in consultation with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect the public’s health.

While this is a difficult decision that has been made with careful consideration, we are postponing our public programs until May 3rd, 2020 (with the possibility to revisit that date as this situation continues to unfold).

The MACLA team has put together a list of resources to help our community get through this difficult time. We have also included volunteer opportunities where you can help support other local organizations at this time.
