The annual Thanksgiving Luncheon at The Arc of San Francisco is one of our most popular service projects. Come early to help prepare and serve lunch to hundreds of clients of The Arc: all people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. And stay long enough to enjoy that same lunch with your fellow Rotarians. This is the only Thanksgiving celebration for many of the people we serve that day. And they are most appreciative.
Human trafficking is a preventable crime. It is a scourge on every community, hiding in plain sight, oftentimes right under our noses. Laurel Botsford, founder and president of Wisdom International: Help2Others, will speak of her work to change the dynamics of the business of human trafficking through prevention education, legislation, and cross-county collaboration projects.
Join your fellow Rotarians and some of San Francisco's finest celebrities -- media personalities, bell ringing champs, costumed characters, local bands and much more -- as you ring bells, spread holiday cheer, and raise awareness for The Salvation Army and its Kettle Program.
