Committed. Caring. Fun loving.
Zephyr is a caring, fun-loving family of agents who take a hands-on approach to community service. Whether helping the elderly with home repairs, walking or riding to raise money for health related organizations and non-profits, working with youth and neighborhood groups, or donating over $100,000 to various charities and local causes each year, all of our agents are proud to actively contribute to our community. Zephyr supports a variety of human rights, AIDS and breast cancer research, and youth and children’s organizations:
Rebuilding Together. This heart-warming national charitable event which takes place on the last Saturday of April provides badly needed home repairs and improvements to elderly or disadvantaged homeowners who are unable to maintain their homes. Each year, Zephyr management co-sponsors a home and Zephyr agents volunteer to do the labor including painting, hauling, garden clean up, and minor carpentry. www.rebuildingtogethersf.org
Human Rights Campaign and National Center for Lesbian Rights have been national leaders in advancing the legal rights of gays and lesbians. Zephyr contributes time and donations to these organizations. www.hrc.org
Support for Families of Children with Disabilities. Since 1982, this organization has offered information, education and parent-to-parent support free of charge to families of children with any special health care need in San Francisco. www.supportforfamilies.org
Special Olympics. Zephyr is pleased to support the Bay Area Special Olympics program. Recently, Zephyr sponsored a team that raised $5000 during the bay area Walk for the Gold and provided volunteer staff for the Track and Field Invitational at Kezar Stadium. www.sonc.org
Project Open Hand cooks and delivers nutritious meals daily to over 2,300 homebound HIV patients. Zephyr agents maintain a weekly food delivery route. www.openhand.org

The Center is the cornerstone of political, emotional, and cultural needs of the LGBT community and provides referral services, educational programs, outreach to elders, social events and other programs. Zephyr is a founding partner of The Center. www.sfcenter.org

The mission is to raise money for breast cancer organizations that locally provide support and treatment, specifically for under-served women, as well as those organizations that develop grassroots advocacy and awareness programs and early detection programs.
Larkin Street Youth Center: Founded in 1984, Larkin Street Youth Center was created as a continuum of services to inspire youth to move beyond the streets, to nurture potential, promote dignity, and support bold steps by all. www.larkinstreetyouth.org
Continuum: The mission of Continuum is to empower and dignify the lives of under-served people with HIV/AIDS by providing innovative health and human services that prevent institutionalization, minimize harm, establish relationships and facilitate community. www.continuumhiv.org
