APAFSS just opened its new permanent Excelsior Resource Center at 4377 Mission St. Under visionary leaders Fanny Lam and Rose Chung, APAFSS now can serve more communities with parenting workshops, diaper banks, domestic violence prevention, and more in 8 languages.

Last week, APAFSS and the community celebrated for a Halloween Parade! Families, kids, and neighbors of all ages dressed in fun costumes filled the streets with laughter and joy. From superheroes to princesses to tiny ghosts, everyone showed up and showed OUT!

Visitacion Valley Strong Families (VVSF) proudly hosted Mi Casa Su Casa (Hispanic Heritage Night) — an evening dedicated to celebrating culture, community, and connection.

This past Saturday, October 4th, our team had the amazing opportunity to participate in two wonderful events: the Richmond District Autumn Moon Festival 2025 and the Sunset Autumn Moon Festival & Health Fair!

At both festivals, we set up a resource table to share valuable information and resources about the programs and services our agency provides to the community. We loved connecting with so many neighbors and families to talk about how we can support one another!

We are grateful to have participated in this weekend’s 2025 San Francisco Chinatown Autumn Moon Festival, proudly sponsored by Garton Casino for the third year in a row. It’s wonderful to see the community recognizing the impactful work we do.
