Help End Homelessness-- Make a Financial Donation

Episcopal Community Services relies on the support of individual donors to help more than 6,000 San Franciscans leave the condition of homelessness each year. Your donation helps us provide hot lunches for seniors, books for students enrolled in our GED program, a warm bed for guests in our emergency shelter, case management for residents struggling with mental and physical illnesses, and a home for a family without one.

Below are just a few of the ways you can help make an impact on low-income and homeless individuals and families in our community:
