San Francisco Bay Area
Caring for someone you love is heavy. You don't have to carry it alone.
Steward is a community for family and unpaid caregivers in San Francisco — a place for honest conversation, practical help, and the quiet company of people who understand.
Who we are
A soft landing for the ones who hold everyone else up.
Whether you're caring for a parent with dementia, a partner recovering from illness, a child with complex needs, or a chosen family member — the work is constant and often invisible. Steward exists to make it a little less lonely.
We meet in living rooms, community centers, and parks across the city. We share meals, trade tips on navigating Medi-Cal, cry when we need to, and remind each other that rest is not a luxury.
What we do
Ways we show up for each other.
Peer support circles
Small, facilitated groups that meet weekly. Confidential, warm, and low-pressure.
Respite gatherings
Evenings and weekend mornings for you — tea, quiet, and childcare or elder-sitting when needed.
Practical workshops
Navigating benefits, hard conversations, grief, and the paperwork nobody prepared you for.
Community events
Walks in Golden Gate Park, potlucks in the Mission, and quarterly all-community dinners.
Upcoming
Gatherings you can sign up for.
We host circles, workshops, and quiet evenings every month. RSVP through Luma — spots are limited so we can keep groups intimate.
