Our summer "Help is on the Way" gala is designed to support both hunger and HIV programs. In past years when REAF supported only HIV services, beneficiaries were selected on a rotating bases with different beneficiaries selected for each event each year. Starting in 2015, REAF began partnering with Meals On Wheels of San Francisco on an ongoing basis as a beneficiary of our summer "Help is on the Way" gala to support their services of home delivered meals to the elderly and other homebound people with few other sources of food and nutrition. REAF's funding also supported the San Francisco AIDS Foundation’s current goal to make San Francisco the first city to end AIDS transmissions in the world. For 2016, REAF also selected AIDS Legal Referral Panel as a co-beneficiary of the summer gala. ​Our 2017 beneficiaries include Meals on Wheels San Francisco and Positive Resource center.​

HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS XVI

Our annual holiday gala is designed to support HIV programs and youth services. Larkin Street Youth Services has also been selected to be an ongoing beneficiary of this holiday event to support their services for homeless and disenfranchised youth. Project Open Hand was selected to be co-beneficiary for this year's gala to support their HIV/AIDS programs.

For over 30 years, Larkin Street Youth Services has built a robust continuum of care to help homeless youth get off the streets. We are a pioneer in our field and our achievements are significant:  there is no other agency in San Francisco—and few nationwide—to offer a similar breadth of services with comparable results. At the Sutter Street Drop-In Center, youth find nutritious meals, hot showers, clean clothing, trained counselors and a safe haven from the street. Larkin Street provides comprehensive health services for homeless children and youth in San Francisco to allow them transition toward stability with healthy minds and bodies. Larkin Street’s Medical Clinic and HIV Specialty Clinic are staffed by caring health professionals and provide primary medical care, HIV testing, referrals and educational materials, as well as specialized care to youth who are HIV-positive. Larkin Street’s comprehensive education and employment services, Larkin Street Academy, provides young people with the opportunities, resources, and guidance they need to succeed. Through a range of housing options—from emergency homeless shelters to longer-term housing— Larkin Street is able to offer at-risk youth basic necessities, as well as a welcoming environment providing support, stability, and security. Each Larkin Street housing program and facility offers youth age-appropriate support to accommodate each stage of their journey, keeping them on track toward rejoining their families or progressing toward independence and self-sufficiency.
