Why I Give . . .

Board member - Youth Education volunteer, SFBFS Board member and supporter Linda

Meyers, began volunteering at SFBFS in 2008. Last year, Linda’s husband Fred honored her
work tutoring students in the After School Academy and The Clubhouse by naming a mentoring
room after her. “We are pleased to support programming that, through education, provides a
pathway from poverty to good health,” says Linda. “I became motivated to support SFBFS when
I learned that the mission is not only to provide emergency supplies, but also bring clients to
self-sufficiency.”

Volunteer - Minnie Jimenez began volunteering at SFBFS over 20 years ago with her husband

Ted. The pair learned about the need for volunteers through their church and quickly became
regulars volunteering their time in SFBFS’ Clothing program. “I love helping the shoppers find
clothes they really need. No one wants to go without, so it’s nice that I can help someone have a
better life.” The 89-year-old makes a monthly contribution to SFBFS to keep the mission going
strong. “It may not be a lot, but I know my donation makes a difference,” Minnie shares. Even
after the passing of her daughter and son, Minnie continues to give time and financial support
to SFBFS. “They are always there for me, to support me and provide meaningful work so I’m not
lonely, and for that, I’m forever thankful.”

Donor - Molly Selmer began her relationship with SFBFS in 2010 by donating food through

a donation drive. Working as a teacher, Molly felt inclined to support SFBFS in an educational
capacity and that same year she started the backpack drive, which continues to bring in over
100 backpacks annually. “Seeing the look on the kids’ faces is the most memorable and heart-
warming part of the backpack drive for me,” said Molly. Wanting to increase her giving to
include monetary support, Molly created the I’m Possible scholarship fund as a legacy to her
brother Doug, who passed away 20 years ago, prior to completing his college education. The
scholarship fund pays a portion of the GED testing fee for SFBFS’ clients who want to improve
their lives. “The feeling you get from giving back is priceless.”
