Grant money from the fund can help families in a number of ways, such as paying rent so they can stay in their homes, covering security deposits so they can transition out of homeless shelters, or buying wheelchairs or other essential medical equipment that they couldn’t otherwise afford. In addition, the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund supports food banks and distributes nearly $1 million each year to assist individuals and families who might otherwise go hungry.
Over the past 31 years, the fund has been one of the largest donors to Bay Area food banks, providing them with more than $16 million. All of the fund’s administrative expenses are covered by the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund and The San Francisco Chronicle. As a result, 100 percent of the money raised by The Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund goes directly to help the families and communities we serve.
This season help your neighbors in need.
