SOS & Vet SOS are innovative outreach services of the San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium which address the unique problems of homeless individuals.

Traveling in a medical van to sites throughout San Francisco, the dedicated SOS team of doctors, nurses, outreach workers, and volunteers creates “clinics without walls” at soup kitchens, on city streets, under freeway overpasses, and in parks. By going directly to homeless people - meeting them on their own turf - the SOS team builds relationships of trust, and breaks down the barriers that keep

homeless people from the care they need and deserve. SOS provides on-site preventive and urgent health care, connection to a medical home for long-term primary care, linkage to other resources (mental health, substance recovery, dental services, legal support, etc.), assistance with housing and benefits applications, distribution of health and hygiene supplies, and transportation assistance to over a thousand homeless San Franciscans every year. VET SOS services are provided by volunteer veterinarians and veterinary technicians through the use of a specially equipped mobile outreach van. VET SOS provides veterinary exams, basic veterinary procedures, vaccinations, referrals & transportation for free spay/neuter surgery, information about service animals in rental housing and responsible pet ownership, and health care information & referrals to their homeless humans. VET SOS uses a specially outfitted van to provide its outreach and veterinary services in selected areas of San Francisco that are inhabited by homeless individuals with companion animals.

Roberto first learned about our SOS program while visiting a soup kitchen, where we set up our weekly mobile clinic. After hearing about the services we offer, he decided to connect with our team, saying “I had heard about the SOS van and the great services provided”. Since then, SOS has become an important part of Roberto’s health and well-being.

Now, while getting a meal, he regularly visits us to check his blood pressure and glucose levels, helping him stay on top of his health. Also from SOS, Roberto has received reading glasses, vitamins, hygiene supplies, and pet food and flea prevention for his canine companion, allowing him to save a little money while accessing important resources.

When asked about his favorite part of the SOS program, Roberto reflected on the kindness of our team, saying “The staff is always helpful, and they treat me like family every time I encounter them.” He added that unhoused people are facing difficult times, and the support provided by SOS is greatly appreciated. For Roberto, the combination of free healthcare, practical assistance, and compassionate service provided by SOS makes a meaningful difference.

A special shout out to SOS community partner, Simply the Basics Hygiene Bank , for your continued

Because of the team at Simply the Basics, we’re able to provide SOS patients with free,high-quality health and hygiene supplies, including toothpaste, deodorant, and menstrual products. These essential items make a meaningful difference to our patients living on the

A couple of weeks ago, our SOS and Vet SOS teams had the opportunity to participate in Project
Homeless Connect’s 85th Community Day of Service, where we shared information about our programs and connected community members with available resources. ✨🩺🐾🚐

We’re grateful to be part of an event that brings together essential medical, social, and supportive services for our unhoused neighbors. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible! 💙🩺✨

Mareli first met SOS at a soup kitchen, where we bring our mobile medical care each Thursday. What began as her search for one-time support quickly became something she says she grew to rely on each week, a place where Mareli felt welcomed, cared for, and
treated with genuine kindness by our Nurse Practitioner and team of outreach staff. From
the beginning, Mareli says our team made an effort to greet her by name and create an environment where she felt safe and respected. ✨

Living with the daily challenges of being unhoused often feels isolating, but Mareli says SOS has made her life better simply by consistently showing up, checking in, and taking time to talk with her. She says these small moments of connection have had a lasting
impact on her; she’s grateful not only for the care she has received, but also for the empathy extended by SOS to her partner and pets. 💙✨

Mareli says one of her favorite parts of the week is knowing she’ll see our NP, Mary, and be welcomed by SOS outreach staff who greet her with smiles and treat her with dignity. She says she wants others to know how important our services are for the large community of people living on our City’s streets. She says that to her, SOS is more than healthcare; it is a team of people who truly look out for her and her family, including her pup pictured here, with compassion. 🩺🚐✨

Milo first came to Vet SOS as a young puppy after one of our longtime clients added him to the family. He joined Hatchet, a beloved senior dog who was cared for by Vet SOS throughout his life and lived to the remarkable age of 19! 🩵

Since then, Milo has kept his owner busy and provided plenty of companionship. We were happy to see him back recently for his booster vaccines, a checkup after being neutered at a partner agency, and some help with itchy skin issues. Fortunately, we were able to make him feel much more comfortable. 🐾✨

It’s always special to watch our patients grow and thrive, and we’re grateful to be part of Milo’s journey.🚐✨

Swipe to the end to see a throwback video of Milo with Hatchet, plus an adorable photo from Milo’s puppy days! ☀️

We loved seeing so many familiar faces (and meeting some new ones!) at our recent Vet SOS clinic. Meet a few of the cuties we served:

✨ Obsydian came in for his first adult booster vaccines after completing his puppy series with us last year and getting neutered at a partner organization. We love watching our patients grow up!

✨ Manchas & Toby, an adorable sibling duo, completed their 3rd and final puppy vaccine appointment before racing off to continue their adventures together.

✨ Cywil, a sweet 13-year-old chihuahua mix, visits us monthly for support with mobility issues. Senior pets hold such a special place in our hearts!

Thank you to everyone who trusts us with your pets’ care at each Vet SOS clinic. Seeing these happy faces is why we do what we do 🐶🐾

Thank you to our amazing Vet SOS community for your help keeping us stocked with pet food & needed supplies for our patients🐾✨

A special shout out to new Vet SOS donor, , for their recent donation of pet food 🍗🥩

Vet SOS is in need of more pet food, leashes, & harnesses! Many of the pets we serve rely on this food as a primary source of nutrition, so keeping lots of options in stock is very important. We welcome new or gently used leashes and harnesses of all sizes.

✨Please consider donating or sharing this post.✨

Your support helps us keep the pets of unhoused San Franciscans healthy, comfortable, and by their families’ side.🩵🐾

Support our sock drive! ✨🧦

As part of street outreach, SOS does its best to provide every patient with a pair of clean socks. We’re currently running low and welcome any contributions of adult-sized socks to include in our health & hygiene kits.

If you’re able to donate socks, or other items to help keep our patients warm and dry while living on the streets, please reach out to us. Every contribution helps us keep our patients comfortable and cared for.

Thank you! 🙏🏽💙
