San Francisco Non Profit Devastated By Burglary
Women's Community Clinic burglarized amid critical end of year fund raising efforts.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2010
San Francisco police are investigating a burglary at the Women’s Community Clinic, a nonprofit that provides free sexual and reproductive health care services to Bay Area women and girls. Someone broke into the Clinic’s administrative office in the 2100 block of Hayes Street sometime over the weekend, taking multiple laptop computers, monitors and desktop computers, including an iMac police said.
"We are going to work through this and there will be no interruption of services to the women in our community," said Carlina Hansen, Executive Director.
The Women’s Community Clinic provides free high quality health care to women by women. As one of the leading volunteer run clinics in the city, the Women’s Community Clinic has earned a reputation as a safe, welcoming environment where uninsured women can access services. "It saddens us to be victims of theft, especially during the holidays, but we feel grateful to our community for their support," Hansen said. "The end of year is a critical time for nonprofit fund raising, and anything that hinders those efforts has a direct impact on our ability to provide much needed services."
The San Francisco Police Department is investigating the incident. Anyone with information regarding the burglary to the Women’s Community Clinic is urged to contact the Officer Lee at 415-242-3000
