The
Providence Foundation of San Francisco is the non-profit, charitable
arm
of Providence Baptist Church (PBC), a 2,000-member congregation that
has
been a cornerstone of the predominantly Black Bayview-Hunters Point
Community
for more than 60 years.
The
Foundation was established by members of the PBC congregation in 1996
to
address the multiple concerns of the Community's low-income
residents.
The Foundation seeks to improve the Bayview-Hunters Point Community by
implementing a comprehensive and systematic approach to the needs of
residents
regarding education, training, housing, nutrition and the welfare of
our
children.
The
ultimate goal is to foster the type of individual and Community
self-reliance
that results in dignity, respect and support for safer neighborhoods.
