Importance: Episcopal Community Services (ECS) is San Francisco's largest and most impactful provider of supportive housing and services to people experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty. Every year, our Annual Holiday Gift Drive ensures that everyone we serve has a gift to open during the holiday season, but wrapping paper is both expensive and wasteful.
Description: Help reduce waste while brightening someone's holiday season! We are looking for volunteers to decorate used paper grocery bags to be repurposed as holiday gift bags for our Annual Holiday Gift Drive. Feel free to decorate the bags in whatever way you see fit, but please ensure they are appropriate for all ages.
Timeline: We need all bags in our office no later than 12/4.
Please email Emily San Nicolas at esannicolas@ecs-sf.org to get involved! Want to provide a holiday gift to someone in need? Email esannicolas@ecs-sf.org to see how you can put a smile on someone's face this holiday season.

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.
