Behind every service we provide is a team that needs to feel safe, supported, and prepared — so this month's staff meeting was about investing in exactly that.

The past two weekends, our team hit the streets to connect with neighbors where they already were — first at the Nihonmachi Street Fair in Japantown, then at XLCR Excellence Community Days in the Excelsior.

Neighbors, parents, and longtime residents filled the room for a community roundtable with Congressman Kevin Mullin and District 11 Supervisor Chyanne Chen, hosted at our Excelsior Family Resource Center on Mission Street.

We celebrated our community moms, those who recently gave birth and those expecting, with love, gifts, and connection.

We are thrilled to share that a new free food fridge has arrived at our Excelsior Family Resource Center at 4377 Mission. Huge thanks to a community partner for donating a commercial refrigerator and to ExtraFood for keeping it stocked with fresh, rescued surplus food.

For nearly 19 years, a little bus named Miss Daisy rolled through San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood — taking seniors to the grocery store, carrying residents to field trips, and becoming one of the most recognized vehicles in the community.

We were honored to table at the Chinese Real Estate Association of America (CREAA) 2026 Bay Area Home Expo and connect with so many wonderful community members.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for our Winners’ Art Exhibition was successfully held last Sunday during the CHCA Cultural Festival in Chinatown! It was a wonderful celebration of our talented young artists, with many community leaders and guests joining us.

A special thank you to Life Science Cares for partnering with us and helping support this event—without their help, the day would not be the same. We are so grateful for their commitment to our community.

What an incredible day celebrating our awardees and honoring the creativity, dedication, and community spirit behind every submission!
