Providing Relief

San Francisco Bay View National Black Newspaper's coverage of our Bayview Access Point's one year anniversary celebration in coordination with Black History Month. Thank you for capturing the spirit of our uplifting celebration and highlighting the hard work our staff do daily to change lives and prevent individual and family homelessness.

Story on our Bayview Access Point One Year Anniversary and Black History Month Celebration held on February 26th. The Bayview Access Point provides multiple services targeting the needs of San Francisco’s homeless families. "And with the right political investments, compassion from residents, and the support of an organization like Catholic Charities, society can prevent family homelessness and ensure individuals receive the assistance and care they need."

Pope Francis met with leaders from the American Jewish Committee and denounced anti-semitism, "excessive and depraved hate," and intolerance. Catholic Charities stands with our Jewish friends against intolerance, hate, and injustice as we advocate for social equity and serve those who are marginalized in our communities. Together with our partners at the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), we uphold the values of peace, inclusivity, tolerance, understanding, freedom, and justice.

The rain couldn't dampen our spirits on Tuesday for an uplifting celebration of the First Anniversary of Catholic Charities Bayview Access Point! The challenging and rewarding work our staff does daily to prevent homelessness in our communities is pivotal to the health and wellbeing of our neighborhoods. We are grateful to the San Francisco Department of Homelessness & Supportive Housing for their invaluable partnership.
