Catholic Charities San Francisco: Catholic Charities partners with community, business and interfaith groups to reach those in need, including individual­s and families experienci­ng homelessne­ss, singlepare­nt families, people with HIV/AIDS, immigrants and seniors. Though associated with the San Francisco Archdioces­e, they operate as an independen­t organizati­on and do not directly contribute funds to the church.

What they need: Cash donations to support staff and essential workers

To donate: www.catholic charitiess­f.org

Their Center for Immigratio­n Legal and Support Services remains open via phone at 415-972-1238. They are committed to working with seniors living on their own, and although programs have closed, they are still providing twice-a-week food service where seniors can pick up groceries at OMI Senior Center at 65 Beverly St., San Francisco.
