mission. we've been through a lot over the last few years. we take care of each other many. >> rutile is the owner of manny's, a civic event space and popular restaurant in the neighborhood. >> this place is extremely special in this community. in this neighborhood, it's more than just a church. it's a community space. it's a joy vortex. it's a place where people go for shelter, for support, for love. >> the church has a link where people can already donate, and community members like manny are also taking on the task. >> i'm the president of the valencia merchants association, and so we'll be getting all the merchants on valencia street, especially those with large social media followings, to post the link. and then manny's will be hosting an in-person fundraiser where all the proceeds will go towards repairs . >> meanwhile, the san francisco fire department is confirming the incident is still under investigation. >> if there's anything that the last three, four years have taught us, it's that we're resilient, but we need to work together to get through tough times. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> officers are trying to find
