The Community Living Campaign (CLC) cultivates connections to help seniors and people with disabilities age and thrive at home. With the ups and downs of the pandemic, isolation and loneliness became even more prevalent, creating particular challenges for these vulnerable sectors. This week's "Online Briefing for Faith Leaders," hosted by the San Francisco Interfaith Council, welcomes Community Living Campaign Founder and Co-Executive Director Marie Jobling, who will present on how community leaders have found new ways to reach people where they are through online exercise programs, writing groups, wellness workshops, cultural celebrations and local history stories that have blossomed on Zoom. Additionally, she will share how neighbors can support their neighbors by way of food delivery, doorway visits, emergency preparedness, and regular connections. CLC has also added transportation support to assist with essential trips and brought connection into people’s homes through tablets, internet access, and online computer lessons in English, Spanish and Chinese. CLC continues to place older adults and people with disabilities in part time paid employment positions throughout the City. In all of these endeavors, CLC seeks to bring joy, health, and connectedness to seniors and people with disabilities in San Francisco through community-building, empowerment, and advocacy.

She is one of the leaders in creating and passing the Dignity Fund legislation and continues as co-chair of the Dignity Fund Coalition. Marie has led efforts to bridge the digital divide, including creating the San Francisco Tech Council and the 2012 Aging and Disability Summit at City Hall. She continues to be inspired by the potential of small, committed networks of people, whether focused on one individual or across an entire neighborhood.
