Tuesdays at Farley’s in Emeryville
In partnership with Clif Bar, Farley’s on 65th works with a local non-profit to highlight the great work they do in the community and help raise much needed funds. Every Tuesday, a portion of sales are donated to that month’s featured non-profit. In January, Farley’s is featuring the Emery Ed Fund. Please go and support and make a purchase every Tuesday this month! Farley’s is located 1195 65th St. Emeryville, CA 94608. Special thanks to Farley’s for selecting the Ed Fund!
One Community Every Child Campaign
With your generous support, we have an opportunity to create a brighter future for the children of Emery Unified School District, and we’ve already started.
WHO WE ARE
We are the Emery Ed Fund–the catalyst for partnerships that help our community’s youth and families achieve academic and social success, community connectedness, and full participation in civic life. We mobilize financial support, intellectual connections, and critical human resources to enhance Emery USD’s work.
WHAT WE’VE ACCOMPLISHED
Since the 2007-2008 school year, Emery schools gained 50 points in the state Academic Performance Index (API)—more than any other district in Alameda County. But API scores, by themselves, do not guarantee a successful future. Fortunately, our community—a partnership of community leaders, business leaders and local residents—had the vision to look beyond Emery’s schools and worked together to create a holistic change in our community.
As a community, Emeryville has the will and the resources to help our children achieve their full potential.
OUR GOAL
We are determined to make Emery Unified School District a model for success. The City of Emeryville has benefited from tremendous job growth and major redevelopment projects. But despite the combined efforts of our education leaders, teachers, and school staff, our students have endured systemic inequality and poverty in schools that are deeply underfunded due to cuts in state and federal aid to education. To sustain the Emery Ed Fund programs, our goal is to raise $150,000 from all sources annually.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We are asking you to contribute. dollar makes a difference, and every dollar gives the students of Emeryville and the families that reside here a brighter future.
What will you give to help us keep the change alive in the Emery Unified School District?
One community, every child, your choice! Thank you, and warmest regards.

Makeover Day at Emery Secondary School
A big thanks to Clif Bar Company for providing 200 volunteers and Rebuilding Together for organizing a huge make over day at Emery Secondary School. Walls and doors were painted, lockers were cleaned and furniture were donated and built. The event took the entire day and included lunch from food trucks paid for by Clif Bar!
