A Simply Idea with a Profound Affect - Try It!
Once a month, Judy Tom makes a big batch of soup and invites her neighbors to bring an empty bowl, something to share, and join in a healthy meal and conversation.
Ann Williams, St. Francis Square CLC member pictured here, looks ready to enjoy this healthy and hearty meal. Judy was recognized at CLC's Good Neighbor Event in the spring. Any good cooks reading this? Think about starting a monthly "bring your own bowl" event in your community. Learn more about our "Good Neighbors" on our Facebook page.

Honoring Those Who "Walk the Walk"
Mayor Breed took time from her busy schedule to join a celebration
co-sponsored by Having Pride UNITI and the Dr. Davis Senior Center in honor of Oscar and Pat James, whose life long contributions to others were applauded by all. There was also a mini-celebration to say Happy Birthday to Beverly Taylor.
Having Pride UNITI members deliver groceries from Dr.
Davis Center to over 100 neighbors each week, and Beverly calls to check in with elders to remind them the deliveries are coming and check on their well-being.
This collaboration is part of CLC's Food Delivery Network Program.
