About the San Fran­cisco Com­mu­nity Covenant
With one of the largest mil­i­tary and vet­eran com­mu­ni­ties in the coun­try, the San Fran­cisco Armed Forces Com­mu­nity Covenant is ded­i­cated to reach­ing the thou­sands of men and women who need the sup­port of the com­mu­nity before, dur­ing and after their mil­i­tary ser­vice. Ser­vice­mem­bers con­tinue to deploy to Afghanistan leav­ing behind their fam­i­lies. Many of these ser­vice­mem­bers live in your com­mu­ni­ties as mem­bers of the National Guard or the Reserve. As Amer­i­cans, we all have to come together to take care of vet­er­ans and the fam­i­lies left behind. The Com­mu­nity Covenant is an excel­lent forum for com­mu­ni­ties to show their sup­port and get involved. Visit www.communitycovenantsf.org for more information.
