A destination for beautiful gifts and home accessories for over 50 years, The Butter Paddle was established in 1967 as a fund-raising arm of EMQ Auxiliary, which has served the needs of local children in need since 1934. Our unique shop is entirely run by over 70 volunteers, and all profits are donated to Pacific Clinics. Pacific Clinics (formerly Uplift Family Services) annually provides mental health and social services to more than 6,600 children and their families in Santa Clara County and over 35,000 children statewide.
