Dear San Bruno Community,
For
two years, our group has been powered by volunteer passion, building a
foundation that supports our local businesses and brings our community
together. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a vibrant
organization dedicated to serving both our entrepreneurs and residents.
Our Impact So Far: We've
organized community food drives supporting local families, holiday toy
drives bringing joy to children, and Unity Day celebrations that bring
our diverse community together. With our Restaurant Roundtables, we've
been able to hear from Saif Makableh, one of the souls of Mazra, and
what secrets have made Mazra successful. These events not only help
those in need but also showcase the heart and generosity of San Bruno.
Our Vision for 2026: This
year, we're expanding our focus to create meaningful connections
between business owners and community members. We'll host a Pride
celebration that celebrates our diversity, an enhanced Unity Day that
brings us all together, and cultural events that highlight the rich
tapestry of our community. From
business coaching to mastermind sessions and joint marketing
opportunities, you can see we're looking to really put San Bruno on the
map.
Our Core Mission: We
exist to support local businesses while creating opportunities for the
entire community to connect, celebrate, and thrive together. Every
event we organize is designed to strengthen the bond between our
commercial sector and residential community.
How You Can Help: Your
chamber membership, sponsorship, or donation allows us to continue
building bridges between businesses and residents, creating programs
that benefit everyone in San Bruno.
Together, we can build a San Bruno where businesses thrive and our community flourishes side by side.
In Community,
Rebecca Molano

| Unity Day 2026 - Bigger and Better!
We're
absolutely thrilled about our enhanced 2026 Unity Day celebration!
Building on the success of our previous events, this year's Unity Day
will be more vibrant, more inclusive, and more impactful than ever
before. Unity Day 2026 promises to be the ultimate community gathering
- a day where we come together to celebrate our differences, strengthen
our bonds, and create lasting memories that embody the true spirit of
San Bruno. Mark your calendars! |

I
initially visited One Love Café to ask Rebecca about selling my
homemade desserts from Nina’s Home Bakery, but since I operate at
retail pricing, that opportunity wasn’t available. Instead, she
encouraged me to join the Chamber of Commerce and consider hosting
pop-ups.
After
joining the Chamber, I met Saif, who shared valuable insights about
running a business, including using platforms like DoorDash and Uber
Eats. He also offered mentorship and access to his café’s kitchen,
which became a major turning point for me.
With
his guidance, I improved my website by switching to Square, invested in
professional photos, and joined DoorDash. These changes significantly
increased my sales, led to catering opportunities, and even brought
interest from Uber Eats.
What
started as a simple inquiry turned into a transformative experience
that helped grow my business, strengthen my brand, and build meaningful
connections in the San Bruno community. I’m incredibly grateful to
Rebecca and the Chamber for their support in the success of Nina’s Home
Bakery.
