We're running a food drive to collect food and money for the San Francisco Food Bank. The Food Drive started out as a Holiday Food Drive for 2008, but we've decided to keep it running year-round. We hope you'll consider bringing some food each time you visit our shop.
Did you know?
Like most cities and towns, hunger is an often unseen problem. In San Francisco:
- 1 in 4 children lack regular access to the food they need to learn, grow and have a healthy start in life.
- 1 in 4 seniors lack the nourishment needed to control chronic health problems.
- 1 in 5 adults cannot count on the daily meals they need to lead healthy, productive lives.
How To Donate
- Bring food to help fill our barrel in the shop. Most needed items include rice, pasta, proteins like tuna or canned meats, peanut butter, stews and soups (especially low sodium products), Latino and Asian ingredients, 100% fruit juices, and canned fruits and vegetables. Please avoid products packaged in glass, as they are prone to breakage.
- Make a monetary donation in our shop when you make a purchase. Just ask, and we'll add any donation amount to your purchase, and pass it along to the Food Bank.
