Let's Be Safe 2024

During this event, we usually invite our local police officers, fire fighters and other law enforcement/ safety officers to talk to the community about ways of being safe. This year, we would also like to integrate humor and laughter during our event. 

Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering or partnering with us for this event! Email us with your proposal at info@weareonesf.org
