Giving tuesday or not, how to help people who need it the most in San Francisco
Giving Tuesday... or not, giving is always a good idea and a good deed. And there are so many reasons to help, especially at that time of the year.
You want to help but you don't know how and where? Let us help !
Volunteering is always welcome. There are so many associations that need your help to implement the help.
At that time of the year, homeless people need our commitment more than ever.
They need us to get some food, to get some healthcares, to be able to take a shower, to get clean decent clothes, to find shelters.

A lot of associations encourage you to come and volunteer. Check on their websites, there are often calendars with all the scheduled events where you could help and instriuctions on how to enroll yourself.
Solidarity is more important than ever this year. Most of us had never heard of Paradise, or had no idea where Butte County could be... their proximity was revealed by the air we have breathed.
Just thinking of what people are going through over there is surreal. We recommend you this article on SF Gate listing different ways to help and support the wildfires victims.
