A longtime San Leandro, California resident, Rose Padilla Johnson has led Davis Street Community Center since 1991. Under Rose Padilla Johnson’s leadership, the San Leandro-based nonprofit provides food and clothing to over 5,000 individuals monthly.
Davis Street Community Center has established quality and affordable child care programs at its San Leandro-based child development centers: Lakeside Apartments at 3000 Waterfall Way, Garfield Elementary at 13050 Aurora Drive, and Jefferson Elementary at 14300 Bancroft Avenue.

The centers offer subsidized preschool programs to enable access to high-quality early childhood education regardless of family income. Besides affordable tuition and reduced rates, Davis Street provides free preschool services for income-eligible families. In addition, Davis Street offers supportive services such as emergency food and clothing, free medical care, and other safety net services. |
