    SMALL BUSINESS COMMISSION CITYAND COUNTYOF SAN FRANCISCO M ARK DWIGHT, PRESIDENT EDWIN M. LEE, M AYOR REGINA D ICK-E NDRIZZI, D IRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE DECEMBER 12, 2016 PROJECT OPEN HAND Application No.: LBR-2016-17-027 Business Name: Project Open Hand Business Address: 730 Polk Street District: District 6 Applicant: Mark Ryle, CEO Nomination Date: September 30, 2016 Nominated By: Supervisor Jane Kim Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Project Open Hand is a nonprofit organization based in the Tenderloin that provides free healthy meals, groceries, nutrition counseling and education, and social work services to senior citizens and critically ill community members. Historically, Project Open Hand was one of the first organizations to support gay men suffering from AIDS during a time when social services for AIDS victims were nonexistent. Its roots date to 1985 when founder Ruth Brinker was moved to feed her ailing neighbors suffering from AIDS. After three years of working out of her kitchen, Brinker was able to secure a space for the project in the basement of Trinity Episcopal Church at 1668 Bush Street, and in 1987, the organization purchased its first kitchen at 2720 17th Street. The organization incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) a few years later in 1991, after serving its 1 millionth meal. Today, Project Open Hand operates out of an architecturally significant four-story brick building at the southeast corner of Polk and Ellis streets, which it purchased in 1997. What began as preparing meals for her seven neighbors grew into a pioneering and influential organization that provides 2,500 meals and 200 bags of groceries per day to senior citizens and clients who battle a range of diseases and illnesses.

  • Aids Walk Statement
    Dear AIDS Walk San Francisco Supporter, Thank you for being such an important part of AIDS Walk San Francisco (AWSF) and congratulations again on a very empowering and gratifying 2017 event, as well as on its success. We have an important announcement to share with you regarding the future of AWSF, and an invitation. Starting this year, the world's leading research organization on HIV and aging, ACRIA, will become the fiscal sponsor of AWSF. ACRIA will also join Project Open Hand (POH) and Positive Resource Center (PRC) as a lead co-beneficiary of the event. Since its formation in the summer of 2015, one of the top priorities of the AIDS Walk San Francisco Foundation (AWSFF) has been addressing the challenges facing older people living with HIV/AIDS. “Over the past two years, AWSFF is proud to have provided the sole funding to launch the Golden Compass Program at UCSF’s Ward 86, granting it a total of $175,000,” said Serafina Palandech, Board Chair of AWSFF. “In 2017, we were pleased to support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF) with a grant of $15,000 for its HIV and aging program, The Elizabeth Taylor 50-Plus Network. In creating this opportunity for ACRIA, we are not only maintaining, but strengthening AWSF’s commitment to care for long-term survivors and older people living with HIV in the Bay Area.” “We are proud to usher in ACRIA to the helm of this much beloved and vital community event,” said Robert Mansfield, AWSFF Treasurer. “ACRIA’s leadership will bolster the fiscal stability of AWSF, enabling the Walk to focus less on sustaining solvency and more on ending HIV and AIDS.

Seeing as how I can no longer read those early notes, I know that this thesis only came to be with the help of an exhaustive number of people. No simple list could ever capture the energies of all those people who took this from my naïve ramblings to the intellectual pursuit it has ultimately become. To begin, I need to thank Erika Doss, without whom this would never have been possible. Thank you for always helping me to look past the obvious and ask the bigger questions. And for never being afraid to tell me when something isn’t working. The guidance I have felt from you over the last two years has and will continue to extend far beyond the one-inch margins of this paper.
