A few years ago, after trying to pack away and donate items that could no longer comfortably fit…read moreinto my apartment, I finally decided to let go of a few very well-maintained stuffed animals (less than 10 years old). It was bittersweet, but they were all packed away in a storage container in my closet, taking up space. Yet, childishly I was very heartbroken with the thought of throwing them away. I did a myriad of internet searches and was surprised that neither Goodwill nor the Salvation Army would accept gently used stuffed animals. It was then that I found Kendra and Project Night Night SF. What a wonderful idea! It was an easy process involving cleaning (washing) the items, packaging them and dropping them off. I was pleased that they were accepted and that they fit the criteria size-wize and condition wise. Plus, they would be used for gift baskets to comfort children who really need extra TLC. Sadly, I don't think that they accept used items any longer, but I'm not 100% certain. Plus, they provide you with a tax receipt if you would like to list as a deduction.

Project Night Night is my absolute FAVORITE organization. Every single person who works for PNN or…read morehas worked with them are incredibly friendly, outgoing, and knowledgeable and above all extremely committed to the cause. Anyone who has a child, or remembers their childhood knows how important having a special lovey is! We all had them, a blanket and stuffed animal, something that we just couldn't bear to part with, and still lives in that box on the closet shelf. Well, Project Night Night reaches out to those who need the comfort of their lovey the most. PNN is dedicated to promote the well being of children (and parents for that matter) who are in a transitional phase and experiencing something that the majority of us would never have to- life in a shelter. Through the distribution of "Night Night Packages" which include a blanket, a stuffie, and a book the organization is able to promote warm and fuzzy feelings in a not so ideal situation. Kendra, the executive director, is INCREDIBLE. Through a little thought and a lot of help she turned something that is an assumed given for children and created an organization that reaches out across the country bettering thousands of children's lives. Project Night Night collects donations of books, blankies, and stuffies throughout various locations in the city, so it's super easy to help out! Check out ProjectNightNight.org for more information, to get involved and to hear from those who have been touched by Project Night Night. :)

Its location in Westlake makes it convenient for a visit while picking up food or groceries; however, the westlake parking lot can be pretty full given the number of the stores. The booksellers are very friendly, quick to ask if you need help finding a book or offering recommendations. As for price point, there is something for everyone! They have a free shelf of donated used books, resale of used books, as well as new hardbacks and first edition signed copies. From one book lover to another, you will not regret stopping by.

I absolutely loved being a performing member on Cheer San Francisco for a year!…read more If you want to get in shape with a very accepting group of people Cheer San Francisco is for you - the whole team has BIG HEARTS and loves performing to raise money for non-profits in need. Behind every crowd pleasing basket toss or tumbling pass, is a Cheer SF'er who is deeply passionate about helping out the community. I absolutely loved being tossed in the air, learning new pom routines from Morgan and Sanford and learning how to become fierce. As far as performances, GO SEE CHEER SF! They are always at the various pride parades and events throughout the Bay Area. Better yet, if you have the money, hire them for a private event or special function, you will not be disappointed.

As a performing member, I am biased but I think Cheer SF is awesome *grin* Tryouts are held every year around July, so if you would like to help throw people around while raising an amazing amount of money for charity, check us out!

Something for everyone to scratch that creative itch. There's a lot going on here but it's organized by category which is helpful. Also, there's an option to donate here which is always great! Agree with other reviewers that the area doesn't feel the safest and is a bit apocalyptic (barbed fence wires with no one walking around) but I think it adds to the charm of the place. Just don't recommend coming here at night and take an Uber/drive if you can as it's located in an industrial area.
