The recommendations put forth by the CDC and SFDPH to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are to wash hands thoroughly, stay home especially if feeling sick, and limit close contact with other people. For many of our neighbors without access to running water or a home to quarantine in, these measures are nearly impossible.<\/p>\n

We are determined to continue supporting our neighbors experiencing homelessness and to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus – But we need your help! Please consider any of the following ways to support PHC and our community. At times like these, it takes us all!<\/em><\/p>\n

VIRTUAL VOLUNTEERING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Maintaining social distance is challenging for nonprofits working to serve the community. While social distancing is an important measure for prevention, we are struggling with the steep reduction in volunteerism, as we rely heavily on volunteers to perform essential services for the community.<\/p>\n

PHC has launched a Virtual\u00a0\u201cCompassion In Place\u201d Project<\/strong> <\/a>to connect all of us virtually in conversations about what it means to feel and to show compassion in the community while practicing social distancing \u2013 we hope this helps to bring us all together at a time when we need it most \u2013 we are all in this together!<\/div>\n
