FHF was considered one of the most active nonprofits in the Bay Area during 2020. As a COVID-19 Outreach Partner of the Santa Clara County Public Health Emergency Operation Center, FHF leveraged its strong presence and trusted voice in the community to mobilize support for those most affected by the pandemic.
FHF distributed over $60,000 in financial aid to San José residents and provided assistance for housing, unemployment, and small business loan applications.
FHF teamed with Metta for Life Foundation to secure and distribute over 40,000 PPEs including hand sanitizer, N-95 and surgical masks, hospital gowns, facial shields, and diapers. In total, FHF provided over 100,000 PPEs — including more than 10,000 N-95 masks — to frontline healthcare workers in the Bay Area during the most critical period of the pandemic when there was a massive shortage.
FHF supplied over 1,000 emergency kits to homeless individuals to keep them safe with funding from city and corporate grants. FHF also worked with local restaurants to secure hot meals for the homeless at various concentration points, including homeless encampments, in San Jose.
FHF’s 30-member Certified Emergency Response Team, trained and certified under the city emergency response program, provided ongoing outreach to support first responders and city emergency centers throughout the pandemic.
We also launched the Food Assistance for Seniors Program to provide relief to over 200 low income seniors who lacked access to food and financial support. FHF worked with Second Harvest Food Bank and several Asian markets to procure food and supplies for program recipients.
FHF served about 50 families weekly during lockdown with survival kits and meals. In addition, FHF served over 20,000 hot meals in collaboration with a faith-based organization.
While this program has concluded, your donation helps FHF continue serving our community through other vital programs.
