One Love Black Community
At the beginning of COVID19 a Black Midwife in San Francisco, Asmara Gebre, noted a racial disparity among recipients of pantry resources being offered in her clinical setting. This inequity inspired Asmara to create a resource that centered on serving the Black community, and on April 25th, 2020 One Love Black Community was born. One Love Black Community’s mission is to earn the trust of our community through action–we show up with essential resources, solidarity, love, respect, humility, and more. As a grassroots, Black-Led community endeavor, we show up for Black people accessing reproductive health care services in San Francisco. Our vision is rooted in building meaningful relationships in our Black community, while offering direct access to essential resources with no strings attached or questions asked (items include, but not limited to, food, toiletries, household essentials).
