Pledge to make a difference, together.
The mission of the Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund is to create stability for individuals and families facing an unexpected crisis by providing temporary assistance for housing, critical needs and access to food. Since 1986, the Fund has raised more than $192 million to help well over 180,000 Bay Area residents. The Fund offers one-time grants to help individuals and families in crisis so they can pay for housing and emergency needs. In addition, the Fund supports food banks and provides more than $2 million each year to those who might otherwise go hungry. All of the Fund's administrative expenses are covered by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. As a result, 100 percent of the money raised goes directly to help the individuals and families served.
