BACKGROUND:
The Volunteer and Emergency Services Program of the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD)
fundraises and obtains in-kind donations to provide emergency supplemental resources to stabilize low—income
families and individuals in crisis. Food, furniture, clothing, toys, and educational supplies promote self-
sufficiency by removing barriers to employment, housing, and other basic living needs. Struggling families
receive summer campership donations, tickets to cultural and sporting events, and holiday baskets enhancing
and supporting the quality of life for the family unit. During the previous four years, the quantity and value of
donated goods doubled from $242,939 to more than $600,000. EHSD receives a grant for the San Francisco
Chronicle's Season of Sharing (SOS) campaign, which is administered by program staff. Stabilizing families in
crisis through housing assistance, the grant increased by 510% from $88,750 in 1986 to $452,952 in 2001.
The Volunteer and Emergency Service Program position administers volunteer activities which provide direct
services and support to clients in crisis through assessment, counseling, and referral by intervening and
minimizing the crisis families experience.
