Help us kick off our year-end season of fundraising!
Come and hear some of the stories you make possible through your generous donations. Everyday lives are changed through relationship, dignity, service, and presence because of donors like you.
Noel will share with us what Shalom means and it’s impact on community development. What does it mean to "love our neighbor”? What would it look like for Shalom, a holistic peace, to infiltrate all of our neighborhood?
Guests will have the opportunity to contribute to the work of YWAM San Francisco during the event.
