Kitchen

The kitchen cooks all of the food used for the Child Development Center and Hospitality Hub dinners. It’s more of a behind-the-scenes position and no food experience is required. Teams can expect to cook and assemble raw ingredients into a meal, and then help deliver those meals to the Child Development Center and Hospitality Hub locations.

Child Development Center

Over 3,000 kids live in the Tenderloin and are exposed to crime, addiction, and unsafe circumstances each day. Our Child Development Center provides a safe, welcoming space where families can learn, play, and grow together through educational workshops, mentorship, camps, community events, and practical support like groceries and new clothing.

Volunteer teams work alongside staff to tutor youth, host activities, support programs, and build meaningful connections with both kids and their families.

Hospitality Hub

The Hospitality Hub is one of our most direct and relational ministries, offering consistent, face to face connection with residents in the Tenderloin. It’s an active, fast paced environment where teams help unload food deliveries, assemble grocery bags, prepare meals, and support food distribution.

The Hub also hosts sit down services. Guests are welcomed to share a meal together and participate in prayer, a short message, and time for conversation, making it a moment of connection, dignity, and encouragement.

Care-Dash

In the Tenderloin, many homebound neighbors live in single room occupancy buildings (SROs) and face daily barriers to accessing food, groceries, and other basic essentials. Through Care Dash, team members will help deliver hot meals, groceries, and critical supplies directly to their doors, ensuring consistent, reliable support for those who need it most.

By meeting residents where they are, teams help reduce isolation, meet tangible needs, and affirm each person’s dignity, reminding every neighbor that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

Your team will have the opportunity to connect amongst each other with the options below:

Take the evening to hold small group sessions to help your team to reflect on their current experiences in the Tenderloin.

Prepare a sermon or sermon series for your team to gather, worship, and listen to the Scriptures being taught by your leaders.

Frequently Asked Questions

(FAQ)

  • Yes, SF City Impact is connected with SF Worship Center which meets regularly on Wednesday from 4 to 5 pm and Sunday from 10:30 am to 12 pm. Moreover, we believe that the only impact that will bring true lasting change to an individual in the Tenderloin will be found through Discipleship rooted in a local church body.

  • Every year we have over 2000 volunteers and mission team members come to serve this community. And each time an individual comes with a mind set on service, the LORD blesses with protection, peace, and endurance to fulfill the ministry they have been placed here to complete.

    Furthermore, the SF City Impact Staff is committed to the following safety protocols:

    1. Always guiding team members from location to location.

    2. Regular safety checks of our buildings.

    3. Guidelines for all team members. (Announced during your Orientation)

  • We have prayerfully designed these mission trips for two purposes. One, that each individual would grow in their discipleship to Jesus Christ. And two, that each individual would be strengthened for effective ministry by the Church Body.

    • Read Chasing God. Chasing God details the miraculous history of this ministry and offers context and key insights on serving the Tenderloin community.

    • Help your team understand poverty in inner-city communities. The circumstances of individuals experiencing severe poverty and homelessness vary from person to person. It is easy to make quick judgments but we encourage teams to grow in their understanding of poverty by listening to the stories of these individuals and recognizing the need we all share for a Savior.

    • Train your team on how to share the Gospel and pray with people. At SF City Impact, your team will encounter many opportunities to pray with residents and help residents understand the Gospel. Practicing the basic skills of asking questions, finding a point of connection, and sharing Biblical truth before your arrival will set your team up for success.

    • Emphasize the importance of service and humility. A strong understanding of these crucial aspects of ministry will help teams effectively serve in love, both in respect to their willingness to serve (in all the forms in which it may come), as well as in interacting with residents with a compassionate and humble heart.
