City Highlight: San Francisco Bay Area
|
The past year has been a whirlwind in the San
Francisco Bay Area. We've had several
transitions with our housing sites, as well as with our ministry partners. In the midst of the tough economic times,
many of our sites have had to make major cutbacks or close completely.
Looking for creative ways to donate to CSM San Francisco? Check out their "Wish List". Items include 20 bunk beds, box fans and more. Feel free to print it and post it - and please don't hesitate to email us if you have any questions!
