San Francisco Pregnancy Family Village

Pregnant San Franciscans and their families deserve easy access to all that they need to thrive. Whether you need services, connection or pampering, we’re bringing our one-stop-shop to your community.


Who We Are

We’re a group of SF city agencies, healthcare organizations and community based organizations committed to improving care access, experience and outcomes for Black pregnant residents and families in San Francisco. We do this by showing-up together, through community events, to provide a reliable one-stop-shop of offerings, built around the community’s stated needs, and engaging within environments that are uplifting, supportive and dignified.

We’re planning our next phase…our “2.0”

In June, we completed our 3 year pilot of the  “SF Family & Pregnancy Pop-Up Village”, the event series we co-created with Designing Justice + Designing Spaces. Utilizing their “Pop-Up Village” event model to bring our goals to life, we’ve been hosting the Bayview community at our monthly events since July 2021.

We’re currently taking all our learnings and community input to plan for our next phase of events - our “2.0”- building on what we’ve accomplished to go deeper with our goals.

In the meanwhile, we’re continuing to bring our valuable one-stop-shop of resources and support to community however we can! See EVENTS page for more details!
