Sunset Strong

We’re In This Together

Small business owners in the Sunset are doing all they can to continue to serve the community. To build awareness of these efforts, Supervisor Gordon Mar’s office has teamed with small businesses to create a new campaign: #SunsetStrong. #SunsetStrong is a resource for our community to discover how we can support each other. Browse the neighborhood businesses on this site and shop locally. We’re in this together.

面對新冠的難關，日落區的小商舖仍竭力為社區服務。為了提高民眾對這些努力的了解，第四區市參事馬兆明辦公室正與小商舖合作，共同製作了一個新的宣傳系列：#日落濃情（#SunsetStrong）。#日落濃情，是我們社區發之間發掘相互支持的渠道。這個活動的目的是鼓勵市民來日落區進行本地購物，在這個非常時期共同渡過難關。

Celebrating Sunset Heroes: People who have kept our community strong through the pandemic and beyond.

In June 2020, following the killing of George Floyd, @Anateresafernandez, an artist and Outer Sunset resident, created an installation featuring Floyd’s words, “I can’t breathe,” stenciled into a mirrored surface, placed on the Great Highway. Unfortunately, the piece was soon vandalized. Ana Teresa replaced it with a sign reading VOTE, complete with over 3,000 gold sequins that sparkled in the breeze. Again, the sign was vandalized. Finally, she created HOPE. The sign was an inspiration to many throughout the election and turmoil that followed as we headed into 2021.

Jamae Tasker, a mother and the Director of @sfsunsetcoop, was also moved to publicly share a response to the murder of George Floyd. She started painting signs to help deal with her growing anxiety about the nation and the coming election. Her first sign featured Breonna Taylor’s name and she continued with signs supporting Black Lives Matter and encouraging people to use compassion, critical thinking, and to vote. Friends pitched in, lining the Great Highway with nearly 100 signs before the election. Jamae’s signs were also vandalized, yet new signs popped up as others added to the collection.

Both Jamae and Ana Teresa witnessed children studying their work, conversations between parents and children about the signs’ meanings, discussions among friends about how Black Lives Matter, and lots of inspiration to vote.

Ana Teresa and Jamae ended up meeting through their work on the Great Highway and have since collaborated on a piece at the Sunset Coop - ME WE. The collaboration offered an experience that opened the conversation about issues of skin, race, and identity for students, who created tiles from mixing their skin tones. Jamae included all teachers in the process, from all generations, even those no longer in the neighborhood.

Thank you, Sunset Heroes Ana Teresa Fernandez and Jamae Tasker, for bringing beauty to the neighborhood, for inspiring conversations and encouraging action — and giving us hope.

On March 20, 1993, 25 year-old, local boy, Pat Maguire with friends, family & a whole lot of divine grace opened the doors to Java Beach. It took a year to construct. The storefront, previously housing Dick’s at the Beach, sat abandoned after the 1989 earthquake. Against all odds and against better judgment, Java Beach exists and thrives today. Thank you to our community for your tremendous on-going love & support. Thank you to all the staff who have worked here and shared the journey with us. We are so grateful to you all.

There are many stories of perseverance and hope to be told about the past 28 years at Java Beach, about the corner of Judah and the Great Highway and about this underdog neighborhood. And we’re here for it all. Swing by and we’ll talk over a cup of coffee.

Celebrating Sunset Heroes: People who have kept our community strong through the pandemic and beyond.

A year ago, as the health challenges of the pandemic began to make life especially challenging for older adults, two complete strangers Bianca Nandzik and Frank Plughoff immediately swung into action, creating the Sunset Neighborhood Help Group. On March 13, 2020, they started a Facebook group to connect neighbors who weren't able to leave their homes with neighbors who could assist them with basic needs such as grocery and pharmacy pick-ups.

On the group’s first day, more than 150 volunteers joined the effort. Rather than worrying about their own fears and frustrations, neighbors began to focus on what they could do to help their neighbors. Anticipating that many of those who needed assistance weren’t active online, Bianca's husband, Stefan Nandzik, created a flyer with a phone helpline. Celia Wu translated the flyer for the Chinese neighbors. Volunteers printed and distributed 30,000 flyers under the direction of Amy Luckey.

Over the year the community grew to over 1,800 members. Janis OMeara,Yasmin D’Mello Staton, Aimee Rozen, Alvin Jen, Jennifer Urbain, Jennifer Lau and Bonnie Kwan became the next generation of driving volunteers that joined the group in the beginning and whose continuing efforts are strengthening this community. Volunteers have also packaged groceries at the food pantry of the First United Presbyterian Church and delivered them to elderly and at-risk neighbors. Over the year, more than 300 Sunset Neighborhood Help Group members like Lily Mok, Mario Jimenez, Kathy Gutgesell, Maria Kristi and Debbie Wong have responded to nearly 1,000 requests for help.

Thank you Sunset Heroes Bianca Nandzik and Frank Plughoff and the many, many other Sunset neighbors who have contributed to this effort.

A very important person not pictured who greets you when you come into the shop and recommends colors when you build a set is Riley! and most of the people not pictured make paint from home in between taking and teaching classes and running businesses and working jobs.

We get so excited when our favorite avocados are back in season. Starting this weekend, you can stop by our Lawton and Taraval cafes to get avocado on our Soda Farls or Wheaten Bread. The seasonal spread features @brokawavocados, house-made lemon pepper, and pickled onions. Get it while you can! Once Brokaw is out of avocados for the season, we'll be switching to a new spread.
