As a newbie to San Francisco, I wanted to get re-involved in the non-profit world and feel like I was making a difference. Upon reading about the Friends of SFILSP, I was instantly amazed at the large impact a smaller organization was making in foster children's lives. I was lucky enough to be granted the honor of serving on the board and it's great to see the passion in everyone's faces as they look for new and innovative ways to help kids achieve their dreams. Such a fantastic organization with a beautiful mission deserves this recognition.
