For women experiencing homelessness, daily challenges—like limited access to public restrooms, showers, or menstrual supplies—can make basic needs incredibly difficult to manage. For some, protective underwear (for bladder leaks) offers essential comfort, protection, and peace of mind.

Right now, we are seeking donations of women’s incontinence underwear in all sizes (S–XL). You can view our most urgent in-kind needs at https://ow.ly/812W50Y1n0J or shop directly from our Amazon Wish List, with items shipped straight to us.

If you’d like to coordinate an in-kind donation or learn more about ways to give, please email development@communityforwardsf.org.

Together, we can ensure that the women we serve can live with comfort, dignity, and care.

Today, Community Forward honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As he reminded us, "We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future."

That faith shows up through action—through service, advocacy, and standing alongside our community every day. We carry this call forward in our work—grounded in justice, dignity, and the belief that collective care can build a more just future for all.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month 💙

Human trafficking is often intertwined with domestic violence, housing instability, and homelessness—realities faced by many of the women and survivors we serve every day. For more than 30 years, Community Forward SF has provided a safe, dignified space for women through A Woman’s Place, one of the few gender-specific, 24/7 shelters in San Francisco. This work reflects our commitment to a holistic, trauma-informed approach that centers safety, dignity, and survivor-led solutions.

We are proud to stand alongside local partners, service providers, and advocates who continue to protect our communities, raise awareness, and ensure survivor voices are heard.

This is your final chance in 2025 to support women as they reclaim their lives.

Your gift creates safety, stability, and opportunity. More than a decade ago, Juthaporn needed a second chance. Today, she is a mother, student, and aspiring author—using her voice to uplift other women.

In a moment when women’s voices are too often silenced, your support keeps them at the center of the solutions.

Make your tax-deductible gift by December 31. Donate today: https://ow.ly/CRlU50XNScP

Thank you to Community Outreach Student Alliance (COSA) for partnering with us once again to assemble over 350 care packages for our clients. Amid the holiday hustle, partnerships like these remind us of the importance of slowing down and looking out for our neighbors. Thoughtful essentials like socks, hand warmers, and snacks help show our community they are seen and cared for—and we’re truly grateful.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers and staff who showed up in such a big way for our holiday gift bag assembly! We are truly in awe of your support and your willingness to spread extra holiday cheer for our clients this year 🎁

We’re also deeply grateful to Epic Church San Francisco () and MeCa Goods () for their generous donations. Thanks to their partnership, we were able to assemble over 300 holiday kits filled with:

• A unique Paint by Numbers journal
• Winter scarves, gloves, and beanies
• Hygiene care items
• Assorted candy and snacks

None of this would be possible without the support of our community that continues to show up for us. Thank you for making this holiday season a little extra special ❤️
