February isn’t the only time to honor Black history, achievement, and excellence — but it is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and recommit to building a more just future. This Black History Month, Community Forward honors the enduring impact of Black leadership, creativity, and resilience that has shaped our communities and our country.

Black achievement spans generations and disciplines—from cultural movements that have transformed art and storytelling, to scientific and intellectual breakthroughs, to the organizing and advocacy that have driven progress toward freedom and justice, often in the face of systemic barriers.

Black history is American history. When we engage in honest reflection, listen with intention, and commit to continued learning and unlearning, we strengthen our collective future. Community Forward remains committed to this work—not just this month, but always—because justice is built through sustained action and shared responsibility.

For women experiencing homelessness, daily challenges—like limited access to public restrooms, showers, or menstrual supplies—can make basic needs incredibly difficult to manage. For some, protective underwear (for bladder leaks) offers essential comfort, protection, and peace of mind.

Right now, we are seeking donations of women’s incontinence underwear in all sizes (S–XL). You can view our most urgent in-kind needs at https://ow.ly/812W50Y1n0J or shop directly from our Amazon Wish List, with items shipped straight to us.

If you’d like to coordinate an in-kind donation or learn more about ways to give, please email development@communityforwardsf.org.

Together, we can ensure that the women we serve can live with comfort, dignity, and care.

Today, Community Forward honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As he reminded us, "We must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future."

That faith shows up through action—through service, advocacy, and standing alongside our community every day. We carry this call forward in our work—grounded in justice, dignity, and the belief that collective care can build a more just future for all.

January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month 💙

Human trafficking is often intertwined with domestic violence, housing instability, and homelessness—realities faced by many of the women and survivors we serve every day. For more than 30 years, Community Forward SF has provided a safe, dignified space for women through A Woman’s Place, one of the few gender-specific, 24/7 shelters in San Francisco. This work reflects our commitment to a holistic, trauma-informed approach that centers safety, dignity, and survivor-led solutions.

We are proud to stand alongside local partners, service providers, and advocates who continue to protect our communities, raise awareness, and ensure survivor voices are heard.

This is your final chance in 2025 to support women as they reclaim their lives.

Your gift creates safety, stability, and opportunity. More than a decade ago, Juthaporn needed a second chance. Today, she is a mother, student, and aspiring author—using her voice to uplift other women.

In a moment when women’s voices are too often silenced, your support keeps them at the center of the solutions.
