In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.
Support Chinatown
Feed + Fuel Chinatown: Chinatown CDC, in partnership with Self-Help for the Elderly and SF New Deal, distributed 122,000 meals to 1000+ SRO and public housing residents over a 2 ½ month period at the onset of COVID shelter in place. Feed + Fuel Chinatown 1.0 utilized 34 Chinatown restaurants. The program distributed meals via delivery and issuance of vouchers for takeout at the relevant restaurant and received strong positive feedback from restaurants and meal recipients.
This form is for those who are interested in volunteering for Chinatown CDC food programs during COVID-19. Chinatown CDC is focused on keeping residents SAFE and fed. In particular, we aim to minimize communal kitchen usage in Chinatown SRO buildings.
"Add oil, Chinatown!" Artist Talk on Public Art & Neighborhood Recovery
Presented by the Chinese Culture Center in collaboration with 100 Days Action, join us in a 2-part artist sharing on public art and its role in Chinatown San Francisco as we explore: What’s the role of art during a time of crisis? How can artists participate in neighborhood recovery?
San Francisco Chinatown is "Open For Business" and we welcome you to the Walkway Weekend Event Series!
Every weekend between the hours of 11am to 5pm, we invite you to come enjoy a leisurely stroll through historic Chinatown, or perhaps grab a bite at any of our participating restaurants offering outdoor dining, or why not indulge in an Asian shopping experience?
The event series takes place in San Francisco Chinatown’s Grant Avenue, between California St and Washington St, and it will be closed to traffic and parked cars to offer you a pleasant, open, walkway experience.
Presented by Chinese Chamber of Commerce, CCC is proud to be a nonprofit partner. We are grateful Wells Fargo for selecting CCC to be the nonprofit recipient for the Unity Ox. The perfect complement to feature Wells Fargo's Unity Ox - stands in confidence, looking towards the future to a new year filled with happiness and prosperity, together with the community. All Ox will be auctioned off at the end of the New Year celebrations to support local nonprofits.
Support our family-run restaurants by ordering takeout and delivery.
Keep them open during this time of emergency and they will stay open for you until we get through this together.
As with the ever-changing nature of this epidemic, hours of operation may change but volunteers will keep updating this as much as possible.

During this difficult time with the COVID-19, the underprivileged community needs our help more than ever before. We are looking for volunteers to help with food pantries for four organizations that serve communities in or nearby Chinatown. The responsibilities include:
-
Unload and move food
-
Pack food into grocery bags for all participants
-
Hand participants grocery bags
-
Clean up the distribution area
We understand that the City of San Francisco has ordered "shelter-in-place", however, the food pantry service is an exception. This service is essential and many families are relying on the food pantry to get their daily food. We are monitoring the situation and will follow the guidance from the city if anything changes.
With this unprecedented emergency we are experiencing, API Council has set up an Emergency Fund where we welcome donations, grants and gifts. Our goal is to raise $500,000 by April 30.
-
Help ensure food security and safety for our low-income API families and seniors.
-
Ensure availability of protective safety materials for workers and volunteers.
