Support Mission District Immigrant Youth In Crisis
Tax deductible
*The Jamestown Community Center is the financial host for this campaign and will be dispersing all funds directly to Cesar Chavez Elementary School families. *
Many residents of San Francisco know Cesar Chavez Elementary School for our beautiful murals depicting our namesake, activist Cesar Chavez, along with other multicultural themes representing our entire community, such as the ASL alphabet mural on the Shotwell Street side of our building to represent our Deaf and Hard of Hearing students and families. Our school is integral to our Latinx Cultural District community.
We have become the center of food distribution, COVID-19 testing and community outreach during this crisis. Many families from the Chavez community have also gone out of their way to volunteer in these efforts. We serve 478 families from all over the Bay Area, many of whom reside in the Mission District neighborhood.
Due to the Shelter-In-Place order across our city and state, the families of Cesar Chavez Elementary have been through severe economic strain. Not only that, but 90% of Mission District residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 were those who needed to leave their home to work. 95% of these individuals identified as being of Latinx heritage.
The Jamestown Community Center, a Mission District nonprofit and school program partner, is hosting this fundraiser for the Chavez families in need of financial support at this time. The money we fundraise will go directly to those who have been impacted and have the highest need, primarily undocumented, unemployed, or homeless families. In particular this fund will support our undocumented families who do not have access to unemployment benefits and will not receive a stimulus check to help them through this pandemic. Multiple families will be supported through $500 Visa Gift Cards that can be used towards paying for essential items such as groceries and toiletries.
The Mission District is the heart of San Francisco. It’s where we gather for big wins, nights out, great food, and cultural events like Dia de los Muertos and Carnaval. The Mission is beautiful and vibrant because of the richness of art and culture that come from the unique Latinx heritage and cultures of its residents.
The families of Cesar Chavez play a big part in making this neighborhood run and contribute to its vitality. The Mission District gives us so much. We need to show our support, love and appreciation for the families that make The Mission like no other place in San Francisco.
