CERV PROGRAM

Connecting San Franciscans in this critical time of need

ABOUT THE CERV PROGRAM

CERV was a program created in partnership between the City of San Francisco’s Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) and Shanti Project. CERV volunteers provided one-time or occasional practical support to older and vulnerable adults who were strongly advised to limit outdoor exposure during the Coronavirus pandemic. Examples of support included grocery shopping; dog walking; delivery of pet food, medication, and other essentials; and mail pickup.

The program operated from March 2020-June 2021. During that time, hundreds of volunteers joined CERV to support their fellow San Franciscans.
