Providing Essentials to Our Most Vulnerable

In response to COVID-19, SF Goodwill is partnering with the City of San Francisco to provide emergency shelter to our most vulnerable residents by recruiting workers to serve as on-site monitors to ensure health and safety requirements, manage communication, and logistics onsite. We are also leading an initiative to connect low-income workers who have been laid off or negatively impacted by the pandemic with a one-time emergency cash benefit to provide critical relief to vulnerable workers and their families.individuals facing barriers to sustained employment.
