Every Person Deserves Shelter, Food, and Compassion

Those who know me well (most of you) know that I am a professional fundraiser. And you probably know once a year, I reach out to my friends to seek support of the nonprofits that are most important to my heart. This year--and especially in this political environment--consider a gift to Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco.

They are the real deal. They provide numerous pathways out of homelessness for the city's most vulnerable citizens. From emergency shelters to permanent supportive housing sites, workforce development programs like CHEFS (training to work in commercial kitchens) to REACH (education to work in social services), a Healthy Aging program for seniors, meal programs, behavioral health services, and so much more, ECS balances innovation with evidence-based solutions (things we KNOW work because long-standing data says so). Want to know more? Ask me!

It's a complicated place, the world we live in. Scary. I know we are all financially insecure right now--many of us are feeling the fear of an unstable world. We are not so different, those who ECS serves and the rest of us. Help if you can, and know that I love you no matter what. (Full Disclosure: I believe in Episcopal Community Services so much that I work for them!)
