Long before they founded All American, Bill Kenney and the late E.D. Nuckels actively participated in civic, community and non-profit groups as members and in board positions. So, it was inevitable that All American would find deeper ways to dedicate themselves to the community. And, that they have. In 2007, we found ways to help over 12 local non-profits and schools. We wouldn't have it any other way.
All American provides free and substantially discounted rates to the following organizations:
PARCA

St. Catherine's of Siena Church
As a long time parishioner, Mr. Kenney, serves the church in a variety
of capacities - attending early Sunday morning services, serving on
their Capital Campaign committee and being a friend to the priests that
rotate through the parish.
Toys for Tots - San Mateo Fire Department
While San Mateo is one the wealthiest cities in the state, it's not
without families who need a helping hand, particularly at the holidays.
Since shortly after our facility opened, the San Mateo Firefighters have
had space to store their holiday inventory. Currently they receive a 400
square foot unit gratis at the facility and they get a tiny boost from
All American because we have a collection bin in our office for them.

developing lasting relationships between police officers and youth, they

bringing economic growth in the form of jobs and sales tax to San Mateo.

SMACC is the hub for the area's largest employer, non-profits and small

organization.

Peninsula Humane Society/SPCA
PHS/SPCA, a private non-profit organization guided by the humane ethic, builds healthy relationships between people and animals. Each year thousands of animals pass through our doors. Since 2003, 100% of their healthy animals have been adopted.
Last year, they received more than 8,500 dogs, cats and other pet animals as well as thousands of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Each year they provide a warm bed, nutritious food, veterinary care and a gentle touch for these animals. As an ethical choice to provide safe sanctuary for every animal in need and, since they are contracted with all cities in San Mateo County, they lack control over the number of incoming animals. They accept all animals, and often provide a second chance to the neediest – those who would otherwise be turned away at so-called “no kill” agencies that accept only highly adoptable animals.
They’re definition of “healthy” is based on the State’s definition: dogs and cats without medical or behavioral issues, fully weaned and social. It excludes obviously unhealthy animals (those with injuries and illnesses or those behaviorally scarred from past treatment and mistreatment) as well as unweaned kittens and feral cats. Sadly, in some cases like the ones mentioned above, all we can provide is a painless ending when resources have been exhausted. While we cannot save every treatable animal, we place every healthy animal into a new home.
Staff, volunteers and supporters are equally proud of the fact that they make well, then adopt, between 100-150 treatable animals every month.
