The Gubbio Project seek sub-committee members for our Board of Directors.
Description
The Gubbio Project offers an unique program that provides refuge for the homeless, our unhoused neighbors, in the sanctuary of two churches. Housed in the beautiful Saint Boniface Catholic Church in the heart of the Tenderloin District and historic Saint John the Evangelist in the Mission District of San Francisco, The Gubbio Project offers provides sacred sleep during the day, along with necessities like toiletries and clean bathrooms to our neighbors without homes. It also creates opportunities for engagement and connection with the homeless for those in the broader neighborhood, the church, and the school communities. According to ABC News coverage, Saint Boniface is the only church that has successfully initiated and continued such a program, now for almost 15 years.
Goals and Activities
The goals of The Gubbio Project are two-fold:
- To provide a clean, beautiful, quiet, and safe space for people to rest during the day
- To cultivate a sense of community among the homeless and a sense of understanding and shared responsibility in the broader church, school and neighborhood communities
We are seeking to expand our Board of Directors. We are especially seeking applicants who have experience with fund development, legal matters, financial matters, and/or board development. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us. We invite your energy and vision for special projects and initiatives for our sustainability and desire to create community through your service.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Mission Statement
To be in community with and to provide a sacred space and sanctuary for unhoused people in need of safe, compassionate respite during the day
Description
In 2003, St. Boniface Neighborhood Center began working toward a concrete response to the increasing numbers of women and men seeking refuge from the streets during the daylight hours, particularly during periods of inclement weather. Working in Collaboration with St. Boniface Church, this response took tangible form in April 2004 with the launching of The Gubbio Project. Inspired by Francis of Assisi's solidarity with and love for the poor and outcast, In 2015, we began partnering with St John the Evangelist Episcopal Church.
The Gubbio Project provides a system of outreach, compassionate support services and lots of advocacy. All services are open to anyone regardless of their religious affiliation. We seek to serve those individuals and families who survive without any safety net from the public sector.
Facets of The Gubbio Project include: Outreach workers for those seeking a listening ear, a referral, clothing, a blanket, or just a welcoming presence; maintenance of a quiet, sacred space for prayer, sleep, or meditation; availability of clean, safe restrooms, programs including Foot Care, Chair Massages, Assistance and more.
