School boardmembers, city councilmembers, and state officials gathered 4/5 to celebrate the grand opening of the Franklin Service Center. Located at Franklin Elementary School, the center will provide the space for various resources — CADA, United Way, CalFresh, SBCC English classes, Planned Parenthood, COAST, and office hours for Assemblymember Das Williams and State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson — every week in English and Spanish. Williams, who grew up on the Eastside and spearheaded the efforts, praised Franklin Principal Casie Killgore for her collaboration and commitment to providing essential services for nearby residents.
