About THE FRIENDS OF THE DOGPATCH COMMUNITY HUB

The Friends of the Dogpatch Community Hub is a community-founded 501(c)(3) public charity that operates the Dogpatch Hub, a neighborhood third-space and community center in San Francisco (1278 Minnesota Street). The organization is governed by an all-volunteer board and guided by a stakeholder advisory council, and it runs public programs, drop-in hours, meeting spaces, rentals, and community-led initiatives. The Hub soft-opened in fall 2023 and completed a full opening in fall 2024 and has operated ongoing programs, regular community meetings, and partnerships with local organizations since then.
