Clothing For Franciscan Tower Fire Evacuees

This past week the Franciscan Towers burned. Over 100 residents were displaced, forced to leave everything behind. TNDC has placed some of the residents in vacant units in their other properties. Some are on cots in common rooms turned into evacuation centers.

Working with TNDC social workers, the Free Clothing Program delivered bags of clothes to the evacuees, including shoes for residents forced to flee the fire barefoot.

The evacuees needed towels and we didn’t have any in stock. The San Francisco Hilton along with other hotels often gives us gently used towels to give to our guests, but they didn’t have any, either. But seeing the need, they gave us brand new towels, which we picked up and delivered to the evacuees. Thanks again, San Francisco Hilton and Jo Licata!
