Nonprofit stroke peer groups seeking donated monthly meeting spaces on Peninsula

A nonprofit that has been helping people with strokes for decades is seeking one or more meeting spaces for peer support groups to meet on the Peninsula.
Locations from San Jose up to San Francisco are needed.
We are hoping to find donated spaces that can be used on an ongoing basis at least once a month on the same day and time.
Underused corporate spaces might be perfect, and the nonprofit will likely be happy to thank them as a contributor in their publications.
Ideally the rooms can seat 20-40 people comfortably and intimately, and able to accommodate at least a wheelchair or two.
Parking and access distance are important.
The attendees are mostly able to ambulate alone or with canes/walkers.
Future dreams are to create “hybrid” meetings where homebound stroke survivors can attend remotely.
I experienced stroke over 5 years ago and these meetings have honestly provided me more ability to survive than 90% of the neurologists and other doctors I’ve encountered.
To me, peer counseling for any chronic medical condition is very powerful, and I want to see these groups continue and expand.
I’ve witnessed them positively transform the lives of so many survivors and their caretakers.
Prior to Covid there were several of them from San Jose up to San Francisco.
But during Covid hospitals shut down their meeting spaces and are refusing to open them back up.
I’m hoping to find several appropriate venues who would be supportive and welcoming of people, many of whom have lost so much of their lives but continue on each day to find resolve and new meaning.
Thank you for any information or ideas that you can share.
If you have personal connections to any locations it would be great if you can facilitate the connection.
I’m volunteering to help gather location candidates and will put them in touch if it seems like a good match to pursue.
THANK YOU!
