Mercy Housing at 1880 Pine is an affordable housing community serving 100 seniors and disabled individuals in San Francisco, CA.
The nutritionist will lead a class once a week about nutrition, cooking, and other food and health related topics for a small group as a means to engage and suppport residents. This volunteer will make a tremendous difference in this community by empowering residents to learn more about food and their health that will then enhance residents' physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Many residents speak Chinese or Russian. This is a helpful skill, but not entirely necessary.
This volunteer should be able to commit one hour once a week or once every other week in the late morning or early afternoon. Resident Services staff will closely support this volunteer to provide all necessary materials and further education on mental health and affordable housing communities.

Mission Statement
To create stable, vibrant and healthy communities by developing, financing and operating affordable, program-enriched housing for families, seniors and people with special needs who lack the economic resources to access quality, safe housing opportunities.
Description
Mercy Housing was founded in 1981 in response to the lack of stable, affordable housing for vulnerable populations. In working to fulfill our mission, Mercy Housing California has developed more than 154 affordable housing communities in 36 counties throughout California, providing 17,000+ homes and serving over 24,000 people in need.
Mercy's commitment to program-enriched housing distinguishes us from many other large scale affordable housing developers. Housing is foundational - everyone needs a home. But many people who have endured poverty and other challenges need an additional hand-up to create the lives they want for themselves and their families. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work with residents right in their homes and neighborhoods on issues like health and wellness, housing stability, financial security as well as provide a full range of enriching out-of-school time options for youth.
