Your Support Lasts All Year🌟
October is here, and with it comes the joy of starting preparation for UASF’s 7th Annual Holiday Gift Program.
When we ask for your support, it’s often tied to a campaign—laptops, books, or backpacks. But the truth is, your generosity carries children through the entire year.
Because of you, kids from families who are unhoused and living in poverty in San Francisco receive tutoring in reading and math, books to inspire a love of learning, and parent support that helps families guide their children toward success.
Your financial support makes this possible—every month of the year. Thank you!
To celebrate you and our incredible UASF community for the success of our recent school supplies & backpacks campaign, we created our thank-you video. Next, we’ll share our 2025 Impact Report, highlighting the difference you’ve helped make for all of 2025, and it is impressive.
With gratitude,
Nelson Barry
UASF Founder and President
🎁 Coming Nov. 1st: Give Joy!
Our 7th Annual Holiday Gift Program, Give Joy!, launches November 1st, and we’re on a mission to raise $50,000 to bring personalized gifts to 1,000 children from unhoused families in San Francisco. Imagine the sparkle in a child’s eyes as they open a gift chosen just for them—a small moment that tells them, “You are seen. You are cared for. You are loved.” These gifts don’t just bring joy to children—they bring hope and warmth to entire families during the holidays.
You can help make this magic happen: become a sponsor, sign up to Adopt A Shelter, or introduce us to a company that might want to participate. Together, we can make this holiday season truly unforgettable.
✨ Celebrating 10 Years of Hope and Opportunity
2025 marks a very special milestone—10 years of Urban Angels SF bringing hope, support, and opportunity to San Francisco’s most vulnerable children and families. Along the way, hundreds of volunteers have shared their time and energy, thousands of donors have opened their hearts, and tens of thousands of lives have been touched.
Through our Rise Up SF! program, we are giving children from low-income families the tools they need to thrive. In less than a year, we’ve:
Raised funds for 190 children to receive tutoring with more children enrolled daily
Computers and headsets provided to students to facilitate their tutoring
Shared 1,000+ books
Provided school supplies to over 1,000 students
Each step forward is a story of possibility—of children gaining confidence, parents finding support, and our community coming together. Imagine our next 10-year milestone, celebrating students who graduate from high school and college, ready to contribute back to the world. You are helping make that vision a reality—and we couldn’t do it without you.
