Thanks to the volunteers from first reponders, SF Unified Lions, Masons from Union City, BeChinatown Coalition, CCDC, community groups, Cameron House, Businesses, Community Leaders, and residents for making this first event amazing. Everyone had masks even Santa and Mrs. Claus. We gave out toys to 600+ kids who live in SROs. The kids or their parents/guardians/social workers came by to pick a gift. #BeChinatown #San Francisco (Also, Thank you Frank Jang for being our awesome photographer)
