Metta Fund is pleased to present a collection of grantee spotlights that chronicle how five San Francisco-based organizations are shifting priorities and programming to support older adults in the midst of a global pandemic.
These stories highlight the broad efforts underway to provide vital services for older San Franciscans – many of whom have faced a lifetime of inequities – and the ways that nonprofits have quickly pivoted to meet the increased needs of an often invisible population.
