Help Us Prepare, Share and Deliver Hope!
This Thanksgiving, the Restorative Justice Ministry invites you to help bring hope, kindness and dignity to individuals incarcerated in the San Francisco County Jails.
On Friday, November 13, volunteers will come together to create Thanksgiving cards, write personal messages of encouragement, and assemble snack bags. The snack preparation is new this year and has been made possible through donated items. The preparation day is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Archdiocese of San Francisco, 1 Peter Yorke Way.
Then, on Thursday, November 19, volunteers will help deliver Thanksgiving meals inside the San Francisco County Jails. This year's effort seeks to provide a warm holiday meal to more than 1,100 incarcerated individuals in the San Francisco County Jails and Juvenile Justice Center.
