Community Support committee helps GGMG members and the greater community through its special programs. For GGMG members, our Helping Hand Program allows members to support each other by delivering meals to new moms or moms that need a break in the kitchen. We also organize volunteer events, donation drives, and provide information to help members donate their goods to organizations. In addition, we award 4 charity grants to organizations that have been nominated by members each year. Please contact us at communitysupport@ggmg.org.

Helping Hand Meal Deliveries For Moms

Are you a new mom or a mom in need of a little relief in the kitchen? GGMG volunteers help prepare (or pick up) a meal and deliver it to you. Please email helpinghand@ggmg.org. Please provide your neighborhood, food allergies and preferences.

If you are interested in volunteering please join the Helping Hand subgroup in BigTent. You'll be contacted when a delivery opportunity becomes available.

The Friends of the Public Library on behalf of Stefanie Buchalter (The Women Making a Difference Grant Award)
The Women Making a Difference award honors a GGMG member who either founded or plays an active role in a charity or community organization. As a long-time volunteer and recent chair of the San Francisco Public Library's Laureate dinner, Stefanie Buchalter exemplifies this honor. Stefanie is also working with both GGMG and the library to bring speakers to GGMG events.
