""No strings attached. No criteria checks. It's just a way to show people that someone cares about them," says Elias Domingo, the community engagement lead at the Noticing Folk Foundation, a social-impact group founded in November last year."
""We're trying to make it less the case that people have to rely on luck or access to mentorship to get opportunities in San Francisco," he adds. "There's this cliche in San Francisco that at some point, you have to move away.""
""The Noticing Folk Foundation is dedicated to contributing to the landscape of SF in meaningful ways through exhibitions, seminars, community events and direct and mutual aid.""
The Noticing Folk Foundation launched its 'Blessing Program' to cover grocery costs for patrons at Casa Lucas, emphasizing care without criteria checks. Founded recently, the nonprofit aims to enhance San Francisco's cultural landscape through various community initiatives. Elias Domingo, the community engagement lead, reflects on his upbringing and the need for equitable opportunities. The foundation has previously partnered with local businesses to provide resources and support, including free meals and employment assistance, demonstrating its commitment to community aid and engagement.
