December's Holiday Benefit Party by Alex Vondeling DATE: Tuesday, 13 December 2005 TIME: 6:30pm PLACE: At the home of Mimi Malayan 10801 Sotckton St. (at Greenwich) San Francisco Each year the OWA hosts a benefit party to support the Hamilton Family Center which has been working to end homelessness since 1985, and offers care at every level. They are the largest provider of shelter and support services for homeless families in San Francisco, helping hundreds of families a year. The purpose of the Holiday Benefit Party is to have fun, meet friends and make new ones, and collect holiday gifts for residents of the Hamilton Family Center. We collect and deliver unwrapped presents to the family center, where the administrators match the right person to the right gift.
