Working Together to End Homelessness in the Bay Area

We are committed to supporting our local community in the fight to end homelessness — and we will be giving Dreamforce attendees a number of ways to help us accomplish this:

• In the Dreamforest, come see the stories of people in our community who have experienced homelessness but now fortunately have a place to call home.
• In Salesforce.org Lodge, help us fill holiday gift bags that will be delivered to children of over 100 local families in need. Mark your calendar for:
  Wednesday, September 26th: 10:00 – 11:30 AM
  Wednesday, September 26th: 3:00 – 4:30 PM
  Thursday, September 27th: 10:00 – 11:30 AM
• Participate in the Dreamforce Quest interactive game to help us achieve our ambitious goal of raising $1 million to help move people off the streets and into their own homes.

Salesforce.org Idea Forum

What if citizen philanthropists were everywhere? What if companies hired based on potential, not credentials? What if technology was the solution to the refugee crisis? Our Salesforce.org Idea Forum will give industry experts the chance to share their insights.
