CREATE HOLIDAY CARDS FOR HOMELESS SHELTERED IN HOTELS

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco

Importance: Help put a smile on your neighbors face this holiday season! Most of our guests are sheltered in isolation and many are seniors who are used to having active social lives or are coming from communal settings. With the heightened need to stay inside, often without the comforts or TV or computers, the people we serve are at high risk for isolation and depression--the holiday season can exacerbate these issues.

Description: Brighten someone's holiday by creating and mailing in holiday cards filled with words of encouragement for homeless and formerly homeless people who have been sheltered in place for months. Guests love cards that are created from hand, but if you're not the artistic type, feel free to buy cards and simply fill them out.

Needed Skills and Materials:

  • Access to a printer or the ability to create the cards from hand
  • The ability to mail in or deliver the cards
  • Ability to uphold commitment

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help homeless and very low-income people every day and night obtain the housing, jobs, shelter and essential services each person needs to prevent and end homelessness.

Description

Episcopal Community Services (ECS) has provided essential services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in San Francisco since 1983, utilizing a holistic approach that addresses the multiple causes leading to homelessness. This past year, we served more than 13,000 people, guided by our mission to help homeless and very low-income people every day and every night obtain the housing, jobs, shelter, and essential services each person needs to prevent and end homelessness.
The complex nature of homelessness calls for a multi-faceted solution. ECS serves adults and children through a range of services, including the City’s Adult Coordinated Entry (ACE), supportive housing, employment and education programs, healthy aging, information and referral resources, reentry housing and support services, interim housing, and behavioral health services.
