That way, we can use those funds to stock the shelves with exactly the inventory that’s needed.

These items are most requested and least likely to make a big mess in shipping.
Admission into the reunion is itself an act of service. Please bring a grocery bag filled with Asian culturally-appropriate, unexpired, unopened, shelf-stable foods. Your gift will stock our Harvest Market Pantry — a discreet, dignified, and free market from which our low income social services and youth program families can “shop” throughout December.
We recommended filling your bag with some of the following items. This list is meant to provide an idea of what is needed and is not an exhaustive list. Please note that we cannot accommodate items in bulk. Items should be sized for a single family and manageable for a person to carry home, for example.
Examples of recommended admission groceries to bring:
Sauces & seasonings: soy, oyster sauce, and chili sauce; salt; black pepper; sesame oil; rice vinegar; white and palm sugars; corn starch; rice and glutinous rice flours
Snacks & beverages: seaweed sheets, tea bags, rice crackers, ground coffee, chips, candy
Soup and noodles: instant ramen meals; soup or broth bases (miso, herbal, etc.); bouillon; or soup concentrates; dried rice, egg, or buckwheat noodles
Cooking oils: vegetable, olive, avocado oil, and canola
Gift Cards to Target, Safeway, Lucky, and Walmart (increments of $20 preferred). Clipper cards to use on BART or MUNI are also needed.
Household & personal care: toilet paper; facial tissue; paper towels; garbage bags (all sizes); shampoo, conditioner, body wash; toothbrushes, toothpaste; hand soap and sanitizer; face masks; feminine hygiene products

Tien Fuh Wu Way
2026-03-06 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The block of Joice Street between Sacramento and Clay Streets has been commemoratively re-named Tien Fuh Wu Way.
Born into indentured servitude and rescued as a child, Tien Fuh Wu—or Auntie Wu as she was known to many of Cameron House’s girls and women—became a central leader in San Francisco’s early anti-trafficking movement. Fluent in Cantonese and deeply trusted by survivors, she worked tirelessly to protect women and girls from exploitation.
Joice Street holds historic meaning. It was once a place where rescued girls, Tien Fuh Wu included, played, laughed, and found moments of safety.
Little is known about Tien Fuh Wu, especially when compared to the iconic Donaldina Cameron, but her impact on San Francisco’s Chinatown is larger than life. This commemorative renaming is just the beginning of the recognition that Tien Fuh Wu deserves.
Upcoming Celebrations

March 6 — Tien Fuh Wu Way sign unveiling and neighborhood ceremony
March 19 – Tien Fuh Wu honored posthumously at Cameron House’s annual gala
May 30 – Tien Fuh Wu Day of Service

Join us this Women’s History Month as we turn history into action.

Julia Morgan Ballroom
Julia Morgan Ballroom, Merchants Exchange Building
The city’s most influential business leaders chose Daniel H. Burnham, of Chicago Illinois, to construct the Merchants Exchange as a central location for businessmen to meet and conduct commerce. Burnham hired up and coming architect, Willis Jefferson Polk. Polk’s better known San Francisco commissions include the Hallidie Building, Kezar Stadium, and the Pacific Union Club on Nob Hill, which some may remember was featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller, “Vertigo.” Only four years after work began on the Merchants Exchange, tragedy struck when the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906 devastated San Francisco. 28,000 buildings were lost, yet the Merchants Exchange Building survived, albeit damaged by fire.
To redesign and rebuild the building’s damaged interiors, Polk tapped a talented young local architect. Little did he know at the time, but his daring choice would turn out to be an architectural superstar: Julia Morgan. The first female architect to graduate from the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed female architect in California, Morgan’s fame would eventually eclipse Polk’s. Morgan’s assignment on the Merchants Exchange began her 45-year relationship with the building. For the better part of the 20th century, Morgan maintained her offices on the 14th floor of the building, a space where her most notable designs took shape.
