At Gum Moon AWRC, we recently hosted a 4-part AI workshop series for 25 participants because we believe our community deserves to grow with the world around us, not be left behind by it. Living in San Francisco, surrounded by innovation and tech, we feel it is especially important to make sure our most vulnerable and often marginalized communities also have access to the knowledge and resources shaping everyday life. Through this workshop series, participants were introduced to popular tools like ChatGPT, Doubao, and CapCut. Across the four sessions, they explored how AI is becoming part of daily life and gained a better understanding of how these tools can be used in practical, meaningful ways. It was inspiring to see so much curiosity, engagement, and openness to learning. As technology continues to evolve, we are proud to help make sure our community evolves with it. #GumMoon #AWRC #AIForAll #DigitalInclusion #CommunityEmpowerment

🐣🌸 What a joyful Easter celebration with our Chinatown, Richmond, and Sunset families! On 3/24 at Lafayette Park, Gum Moon welcomed 90 families for a fun-filled Easter Egg Hunt full of laughter, community, and special moments. Children had a wonderful time searching for eggs, meeting the Easter Bunny, and enjoying the Giant Bubbles experience. We also shared lunch together and gave out raffle prizes for the kids. Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make the day so memorable. We love creating opportunities for our community to come together and celebrate joy, connection, and childhood wonder. 💛 #GumMoon #EasterEggHunt #SanFranciscoFamilies #CommunityJoy #FamilyEvent

Happy Lunar New Year from all of us at Gum Moon! 🧧✨ To celebrate, our team gifted special Treasure Pots to families in Gum Moon’s programs. These Treasure Pots symbolize wealth, health, and abundance, and they carry our warmest wishes for every family in our community. Our families loved them, and we’re so grateful to make this moment a little brighter together. ❤️ A heartfelt thank you to Karen Woo for sponsoring the giveaway, and Far East Cafe for preparing the Treasure Pots.

🧧✨ Lunar New Year Grocery Bag Giveaway (2/6) ✨🧧 Last weekend, Gum Moon celebrated the joy of Chinese New Year with our community through a Lunar New Year Grocery Bag Giveaway... and our hearts are so full. 💛 We were able to give out 120 festive goodies bags, filled with traditional foods to help families welcome the New Year with warmth, dignity, and celebration. For many of our neighbors in marginalized communities, a grocery bag isn’t “just food”: it’s relief, care, and a reminder that they’re not alone as we prepare to step into a new year together. A huge thank you to the incredible Rotary Club volunteers who helped us pack every single bag with love and teamwork. 🙌 We’re also grateful for the support from Susan Chan (California Legislative Assembly), who joined us on behalf of Assemblymember Matt Haney to help pass out goodies to our families and show meaningful community support. 🤝 From all of us at Gum Moon: Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂 🐍❤️ May your year be filled with health, abundance, and moments that feel like home. #GumMoon #LunarNewYear #ChineseNewYear #CommunityCare #FoodSecurity ChinatownSF SanFranciscoCommunity VolunteerAppreciation StrongerTogether 新年快樂 恭喜發財

In times that can feel heavy and uncertain, it’s especially meaningful to share the stories that remind us what community care looks like in action. 💛 AFSC Richmond Heroes and Helpers Event 亞裔家庭互助中心列治文區英雄與助手活動 Some of our children from our year-round programs at the Asian Family Support Center (Richmond Site) attended the Heroes and Helpers event hosted by the San Francisco Police Department. Each child was paired with an SFPD team member and went shopping at Target to choose a special gift—either for themselves or for someone they care about—learning the values of sharing, gratitude, and giving along the way. 🎁✨ Many parents shared their heartfelt appreciation, telling us this experience brought their children a warm and joy-filled Holiday. #AsianFamilySupportCenter #GumMoonCommunity #RichmondSF #HeroesAndHelpers #CommunityCare Gratitude TogetherSF

Happy 2026, Gum Moon community! 🏮✨ We’re stepping into the new year with so much gratitude for the joy and connection you create together. Not long ago, our Friendship Group brought Chinatown parents together to celebrate Winter Solstice in the most meaningful way: by making traditional savory TangYuan side by side. 🥣💛 Moments like these are why Gum Moon exists: to champion community, culture, and belonging, and to help our people self-organize the gatherings that matter most. Have an idea for a meetup, celebration, or activity you’d love to see, volunteer (or lead)? Tell us! We’re here to support. 🙌 Here’s to 2026: a year of more community-led moments, more shared traditions, and a whole lot more memories. 🎊 #GumMoon #CommunityCare #ChinatownSF #WinterSolstice #Tangyuan StrongerTogether 2026

✨ A little jewel in San Francisco’s Chinatown ✨Tucked away on Washington Street is Gum Moon Women’s Residence, a historic treasure designed by legendary architect Julia Morgan—the first woman licensed as an architect in California. 🏮 Gum Moon means “Golden Door” in Chinese, a powerful symbol of refuge, dignity, and new beginnings. Built after the 1906 earthquake (completed in 1911), this space has offered safety and hope for generations. 💛 Today, Gum Moon provides housing for 30 women impacted by domestic violence and human trafficking, along with a family resource center supporting healing, stability, and empowerment. History, beauty, and purpose—still opening a golden door in San Francisco. #GumMoon #GoldenDoor #JuliaMorgan #ChinatownSF #HiddenGemsSF #WomenSupportingWomen #HousingJustice #EndHumanTrafficking #DVSurvivorSupport #SFHistory #architecturewithpurpose @gummoonsf @vanitalouie17
