The San Francisco County government meeting on September 29, 2025, highlighted the ongoing efforts of the nonprofit organization Protecting San Francisco, which was established in 2019 to support local deputy sheriffs and the community. The organization initially focused on assisting families of fallen deputies by covering funeral costs and providing support during medical emergencies.

As the nonprofit evolved, it expanded its outreach to include community initiatives such as toy drives for needy families, particularly in the Tenderloin district, and support for local firefighters. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Protecting San Francisco played a crucial role by distributing personal protective equipment, including masks and face shields, to the Sheriff's Department and small businesses in need.

The organization has also initiated programs to provide Christmas meals for deputies working on the holiday, ensuring they have a meal when separated from their families. Looking ahead, Protecting San Francisco is developing a job matching program in collaboration with 5 Keys Charter School and Mission Hiring Hall, aimed at helping currently and formerly incarcerated individuals secure employment as they transition back into society.

Additionally, the nonprofit is committed to supporting local high schools by donating to their athletic teams, with plans to contribute to three schools annually. The meeting concluded with discussions about incorporating Protecting San Francisco into a combined charities catalog, which would facilitate regular donations through payroll deductions from employees across the county, thereby enhancing the nonprofit's capacity to continue its community support initiatives.
