Cyprian's arc - a center for the
arts, resilience & community
|
St. Cyprian's is very pleased to be a site for the annual Rebuild Together San Francisco on April 28th. Every year Rebuild Together mobilizes hundreds of volunteers to donate their time, labor and financial help for repairs and renovations to schools, community centers and non-profits all over the city. The local chapter is a non-profit that has worked in over 260 community facilities since 1989. The group also upgrades low-income San Franciscans' homes.
Rebuild Together's scope of work for St. Cyprian's is still being finalized, but we hope to receive help with improved accessibility for our community hall including an entry ramp and enhanced wheelchair access to one of the restrooms. We're also looking to receive assistance with re-tiling floors in two of our meeting rooms and, possibly, more interior and exterior painting.
For more information about Rebuilding Together San Francisco, please visit their website at www.rebuildtogethersf.org or phone 415 905-1611.
