About Us

For over 150 years, Gum Moon has been a steadfast refuge in San Francisco’s Chinatown, initially established to protect and empower women in need.

Rooted in resilience, we’ve evolved to meet modern challenges, providing essential support like career development, mental health services, and early childhood education for families, all while celebrating our cultural heritage.

Today, Gum Moon is both a bridge to self-sufficiency and a guardian of tradition, uplifting our community through empathy, empowerment, and enduring cultural pride.

Our Mission

Gum Moon’s mission is to empower women, support families, and preserve cultural heritage by providing essential services, fostering resilience, and building a strong, inclusive community in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Our Vision

At Gum Moon, we envision a community where every woman and family can rise to their fullest potential, strengthened by support, empowerment, and shared cultural pride. This vision extends beyond providing essential services—we believe in fostering a vibrant, inclusive community where each member feels connected and valued. Together, we can break cycles of hardship, celebrate our heritage, and empower future generations to thrive.

We invite everyone—neighbors, businesses, leaders, and advocates—to join us in this journey. Your support helps create a place where women gain the skills for self-sufficiency, children grow up with pride in their heritage, and families find the resources they need to build stable, fulfilling lives. By coming together, we can uplift one another and transform our community into a stronger, more resilient home for all.

Let’s build a brighter future, united by compassion, dedication, and the belief in the power of community. Join Gum Moon in creating a legacy of hope and opportunity, and be a part of something that will make a lasting difference.
