San Francisco's Top 7 Favorite Charities...VOTE!

By


We've reached the final voting stage of our buzzed-about Favorite Charities contest, created in partnership with fellow San Francisco native Pacific Gas and Electric Company. After a landmark 17,000-plus votes for individual San Francisco organizations working hard to do good, we've culled the Top 7 Finalists for you to vote on. So get started!

All seven will be taking home cash - the top six will be taking home $2,000 grants from PG&E. But, one who garners the most votes will have their holidays brightened with a total of $10,000.

Top 7 voting closes at 5 pm on December 10.
