Ute Releford - Holiday Givings 2023

Ute Releford (aka Mrs. Claus) is back at it again with another year of Holiday gifts for the Kids and youths of San Francisco who live in the Fillmore/Western Addition.

UR BLESSINGS is a new non-profit founded on an over 15-year community effort initiated by Ute Releford, also known as “Mother Fillmore” or “Mama Tay” in the Western Addition of San Francisco, where UR Blessings has devoted its efforts.

For the last 15+ years, Ute Releford has gathered funds from close friends and families and put together a special support initiative for her community of the Western Addition/ The Fillmore, a historically Black neighborhood in San Francisco.

UR Blessings Annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive distributed over 1,000 toys and gifts last year!

GET INVOLVED!

This holiday season, we are opening our donation pool through GoFundMe, and we hope YOU will join OUR family and DONATE to support seniors, children, and families in our community here in San Francisco!

Funds raised from this GoFundMe will support UR BLESSINGS Annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive that distributes groceries bags and turkeys to families and seniors, as well as toys and bikes in San Francisco’s historically Black neighborhood of the Fillmore.

Your donation will support the remaining African American community in San Francisco, most of which has been pushed out by the city’s widespread gentrification, as San Francisco’s living costs have risen alongside the advancing tech industry.

With YOUR help Ute and the UR BLESSINGS team can strengthen their efforts to uplift San Francisco's Black community!
