🎨👩‍🎨🖌✨📸 WWYT (What were you thinking?) is a relatively new program within the Artists Circle activities. Members visit individual homes - this time Yvonne's - and the artist discusses their process of doing art and shows examples of their work. It is a really popular activity and very uplifting for the artist and the guests! All members are welcome to join next time!

Girt and Glitter event! Friends of the LGBTQ community got together for a block-by-block exploration of the changes in Mid-Market Street over the years - theaters and businesses that have come and gone, plus a dozen new glistening high-rises that have popped up. ✨📸🚶

98 years of memories and a fresh cup of coffee. ☕️

During a recent Friendly Visit, our volunteer Rachel and SFV member Beatrice spent the afternoon diving into photo books of San Francisco through the decades. As a long-time resident, Beatrice loved seeing the city evolve through the pages—each photo jogging a special memory from her many years here.

Thank you, Rachel, for sharing this beautiful moment (and these stories) with us! 🌉📸

April Showers Bring... Katherine Delmar Burke School's Volunteers! 🌿☀️
It’s been a busy, beautiful April! We were thrilled to welcome a fantastic team of volunteers from Burke’s School for a Day of Service dedicated to all things green.

Four members from across the city—from the Castro and Inner Richmond to Glen Park and Bernal Heights—received a helping hand with weeding, bush trimming, and pruning. The SF sunshine even decided to make an appearance, making the hard work even more rewarding!

A tidy garden isn't just about curb appeal; it’s about safety and accessibility. By helping with these chores, the Burke’s School team is directly helping our members succeed at aging in their own homes. Thank you again Burke's School! Come back again soon! :)

We are so excited to announce our newest sponsor, Seniors At Home ! Their mission is all about helping our local elders stay right where they belong—in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

Supporting our community is at the heart of what we do, and we couldn’t be prouder to partner with a team that provides care and independence for older San Franciscans.

This sponsorship furthers our mission of helping older adults age in the community through intergenerational relationships and mutual support.

More Than Just Tech Support 📱✨🔨
A huge shoutout to the Acuity MD team for an amazing Day of Service!

While they arrived with technical expertise, they left behind something much more valuable: confidence and connection. The AcuityMD volunteers, including SFV Board member Lana Puckett, sat side-by-side with 11 SFV members, offering the kind of genuine warmth and patience that turns a confusing gadget into a tool for joy.

Straight From Our Members:
"My problems are all solved!" and "I can finally start using my tablet!"

👋 Thank you Acuity MD for your kind support! We hope you will come back again soon!
And hooray🎉 to our Volunteer Manager, Cat Tong, for hosting her first Day of Service!
