On Saturday, October 31, 2020, our team drove around San Francisco donating new backpacks filled with hygiene supplies, including 1,100 masks, 900 bottles of soap, 600 pairs of socks, 200 bottles of sanitizer, toilet kits, first aid kits, clothes, feminine products, toilet paper, reusable Bisphenol-A (BPA)-free water bottles, drinks and food, for the homeless. We called this our SF Impact Project 2020 because many on our team are either from San Francisco, or neighboring Bay Area cities.
