There Will Always Be Another Disaster

Alice's Restaurant is always committed to supporting the local non-profits that provide essential, often life-saving, services to our community. Our community is often without power and traditional communications, even in the best of times. The SC4 Amateur Radio Club (SC4ARC) provides essential emergency communications during disasters and emergencies in the South Coast and South Skyline areas of our community.   

JOIN US IN SUPPORTING SC4ARC AND EVERY DOLLAR YOU DONATE WILL BE MATCHED BY ALICE'S RESTAURANT UP TO $1000.

Have you lost your power, internet, cell coverage in the last couple of years? How many times and for how long?  This is a common occurrence on the Coastside and Skyline.  During powerful storms, like in early 2023, and wildland fires, like CZU, there is often no power or communications for many days. Sometimes it is out because of one downed tree or even for no apparent reason. The only communication possible in these situations is by HAM RADIO and our team of Amateur Radio Emergency Services (SC4ARES) volunteers.  

The SC4 Amateur Radio Club provides the infrastructure for emergency communications in the entire south coast and Skyline in San Mateo County. Our only funding comes from donations, grants and fundraisers like Coastside Gives.  Last year, we were able to replace the La Honda repeater, thanks to donors through Coastside Gives.  This year, we hope to raise enough funds to provide a repeater on Skyline and a link between La Honda and Butano Canyon.   

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER DISASTER!  The question is will we have our emergency communications operational during the next disaster?  Please help us be ready for the next fire, flood or earthquake by supporting our fundraiser campaign.  It could save a life!

Thank you for your support!  For every dollar you donate, Alice's will match it up to a total of $1000.
