Back on My Feet - San Francisco

As some of you may know, this year Shannon Herline and I joined the Young Professional Board for Back on My Feet (BoMF). This non-profit is already in full force in 11 cities across the United States, and we joined specifically to help launch the San Francisco Chapter. It has taken a lot of work but it's finally coming to fruition!

If you haven't heard of Back on My Feet before, our goal is to combat homelessness through the power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing resources. We believe that if you can first restore confidence, strength, and self-esteem, then individuals will be better equipped to tackle the road ahead and move towards jobs, homes, and new lives. For more information on how it works, click here.

For every $1 invested in BoMF, about $2.50 is returned to the community through increased economic output from employment and cost savings from housing, medical costs, incarcertation costs, and treatment for alcohol/drug addiction.

As we continue to get the San Francisco chapter off the ground, we would be grateful for your financial support. And if you're interested in running with us, let us know!
