San Francisco is where DrawBridge's work runs deepest. Seven active programs across the city — from the Tenderloin to the Mission to the Western Addition — bring weekly art sessions to children living in shelters and transitional housing, in partnership with organizations like Hamilton Families, Catholic Charities, and the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation.

"We see DrawBridge as a crucial part of the kids' recovery." — Site Coordinator
