Community in Action: Assembling Care Kits for Moms 👶🎒🤝

Today APA Family Support Services joined a fantastic corporate volunteer event to assemble care kits for moms. Each kit includes diapers 🍼, hygiene items 🧴🧼, wet wipes 🧻, and a practical backpack 🎒—small essentials that make a big difference. The employees’ enthusiasm was contagious 🙌; they were thrilled to learn how these supplies help parents who are struggling to afford diapers and other basics for their babies.

We’re especially grateful 💙 for our long-standing partnership—over a decade—with Help a Mother Out 🤝, which powers our diaper distribution and ensures families get what they need, when they need it.

A recent example: a 20-year-old single mom caring for her 8‑month‑old daughter has been moving between temporary places while waiting for stable housing 🏠. With postpartum depression and tight finances, even diapers felt out of reach. Through our counseling, basic-needs support, and free diapers 🎁, she found immediate relief from financial pressure and could focus on bonding with her baby 👩‍👧. These kits—and partners like Help a Mother Out—help turn worry into hope 🌟.

🌹 A heartfelt thank you to Tri-City Nightingale for an unforgettable Fall Charity Concert – “A Night of Music and Hope”!

During the evening, Tri-City Nightingale generously presented a $2,028 check to APA Family Support Services and another to the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office Women’s Resource Center in support of services for survivors of domestic violence.

For 38 years, APA Family Support Services has stood alongside community partners like the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department to end domestic violence and create safer futures for families across the city. This meaningful gift will help us provide counseling, case management, and emergency services for those who need it most.

Deepest gratitude to Tri-City Nightingale for lifting up survivors and to the Sheriff’s Department for their ongoing commitment to this critical work. Together, hope wins. 💜

🍊🥬 Thrilled to announce a brand-new collaboration!

APA Family Support Services has just launched an exciting new partnership with The SF Market and their award-winning Food Recovery Program!

Starting now, every week we will receive fresh, surplus fruits and vegetables rescued from the historic San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market (a program that’s recovered over 10 million pounds since 2016!).

Our team sorts and redistributes this produce directly to the families we serve in the Excelsior and beyond — turning potential waste into healthy meals and big smiles.

Grateful to The SF Market merchants and staff for welcoming us into this life-changing program.

Together, we’re fighting hunger, reducing food waste, and keeping San Francisco families nourished! 💚

🌲 An unforgettable November staff meeting in the Presidio! 🌉

Our APA Family Support Services team gathered in one of San Francisco’s most treasured places, hosted by the amazing Presidio. We received an inspiring briefing on the Presidio’s proud history and ongoing transformation—from its days as a military post to becoming one of the country’s most successful national park sites.

What makes the Presidio truly unique: it’s a national park where people live, work, and visit every day. Families like the ones we serve can enjoy this living treasure for generations to come.

We also had the privilege of learning from our partners at Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) about the continued fight for immigrant rights and language justice—deepening our commitment to the families we support.

Grateful for partners who protect both our public lands and the rights of our immigrant communities. Together, we’re building a stronger, greener, more just San Francisco! 💚

So proud to have joined over 350 leaders at the inaugural Children, Youth & Family Summit: Aligning for Thriving Communities on November 7!

Alongside Mayor Lurie, 11 City departments, 80+ nonprofits, Supervisors, and philanthropic partners, contributed to powerful conversations about building a stronger, more connected cradle-to-career system in San Francisco. Together we explored how coordinated investments, better jobs, and truly integrated education, , , and family support services can transform outcomes for every child and family.

Every day, we walk alongside families raising children, parents facing big challenges, and little ones who deserve the brightest possible start. Being part of this Summit wasn’t just about listening—it was about bringing our frontline experience to the table and helping shape the solutions that will help the families we serve not just survive, but truly thrive. 💙

Emergency Food Support for CalFresh Families

Thank you, Mayor Daniel Lurie and the SF Human Services Agency.

Before the court’s decision on SNAP funding, the City moved quickly to stand up emergency support for CalFresh participants. We’re honored to partner on this effort. Our APAFSS program team has been working diligently to roll out the support network so families don’t fear going hungry.

At our two Family Resource Centers—Visitacion Valley/Sunnydale and 4377 Mission (Excelsior)—we will provide extra food support for CalFresh participants who are registered with us.

Gratitude to our staff for rapid communication and outreach—your speedy work helps families get timely information and services.

Growing Our Impact: Internship Program Expands to Serve More Families

To address the growing need for culturally responsive behavioral health services among Bay Area children, youth, and families with limited resources, we launched an internship program in 2017 in partnership with local colleges. Starting with just three interns, the program has grown to collaborate with nine universities and placed eight bilingual, bicultural interns in FY 23-24. To date, we have trained more than 60 emerging clinicians, with seven currently under the expert supervision of Dr. Sarah Jimenez, Behavioral Health Clinical Supervisor. These dedicated interns allow us to serve more diverse communities while cultivating the next generation of compassionate, language-concordant providers.
