After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, it's time for one of our most popular service projects - Thanksgiving at The Arc San Francisco - to begin again! In the spirit of giving thanks, Rotarians will gather to provide a Thanksgiving feast for participants at The Arc SF. Many hands are needed; please sign up to help. This is the only Thanksgiving celebration for many of the people we serve that day. And they are most appreciative.

 

In response to a series of brutal murders and assaults upon prostituted women in the mid-1990s, Reverend Glenda Hope worked with the Sisters of Presentation to found Safe House, a safe place for women transitioning out of prostitution. Come to hear about the healing work that Safe House has done and continues to do in our community.
