3nd Annual Holiday Gift Bag Drive.

Creating gift bags for the homeless during the Christmas holidays is a heartwarming and compassionate initiative. Through the generous donations collected from the SFDHA, you are not only spreading festive cheer but also offering essential items to those in need.

Teaching oral health

Here at SFDHA, our community service initiatives are at the heart of our mission. We strive to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. Our recent project involved volunteering at Boulevard Heights Elementary School and teaching 23 3rd to 5th graders with Autism about oral health. Thanks to the generosity of the SFDHA community service funds, each child received a Spin brush to help maintain their oral hygiene practices.
