Pescadero minister Wendy Taylor is recognized for her work with coastside Latinos


By on Tue, September 28, 2004

Rev Wendy Taylor operates Puente de la Costa Sur (Bridge of the South Coast) to help build bridges between Latinos and Anglos in Pescadero. She helps farmworkers find literacy classes, medical and dental clinics, and transportation. She has distributed over 300 mountain bikes to workers and provided sleeping bags for the homeless. When ranches have closed down or families have been evicted, Taylor has helped them relocate.

Tonight, The San Francisco Foundation will award Taylor the John R. May Community Leadership Award at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco. The award includes a check for $20,000 for Puente de la Costa Sur.
