The month of August may mark the height of the lazy days of summer for many people, but not the twenty employees from Service Source who wielded paint brushes, prepared a “Welcome Back to School” mailing and gave bulletin boards in classrooms and hallways a fresh look at John Muir Elementary School in San Francisco’s Western Addition on a recent beautiful Tuesday afternoon.
United Way brought Service Source volunteers together with John Muir Elementary, which is an “anchor site” for the San Francisco Beacon Initiative. Supported by United Way, Beacon Centers offer free programs and activities for youth and adults after school, during the evening, some weekends, and most of the summer.
A global company headquartered in San Francisco, Service Source is committed to helping build strong communities where they have business operations or provide services.
On the second day at her new job, School Secretary Marlin Aguayo had an enthusiastic crew of volunteers to organize the office so she could focus on the tasks critical to ensuring that the school year is off to a smooth start for students, their families and staff.
