Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 49th in a series of weekly COVID-19 response briefings for faith leaders. Today's briefing featured US Small Business Administration (SBA) San Francisco District Director Julie Clowes, who presented on programs and grants that could benefit houses of worship and religious institutions facing the financial burden of COVID-19 mitigation.

Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, SFIC Founder and Past Chair Rita Semel, Interfaith Center at the Presidio Executive Director Rev. Gerald Caprio, Calvary Hill Community Church Pastor Rev. Dr. Joseph Bryant, Jr., Grace Lutheran Church Pastor The Rev. Dr. Megan Rohrer, and Community Outreach Inner City Missionary Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scott. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and COVID Command Center's Joint Information Center Community Partners Group Coordinator John McKnight, Virtual Outreach Team Producer Alisa Kerawala, assisted by Leads Sharon Walton and Hafiza Salehbhai. 

With the threat of impending drought and water levels at a dangerous low, we invite you to join us next week (Thursday, May 13, 2021 at 8:30 am) as we welcome Julie Ortiz from the SF Public Utilities Commission who will present on the importance of water conservation at this fragile time.
