A First of Its Kind: Drive-through Pantry

Read MoreThe following services are put in place to increase food access during the pandemic:
Pop-up food pantries
We opened Pop-up pantries across San Francisco and Marin to accommodate large numbers of people who have lost access to food due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We opened 27 pop-ups (most still open), which served about 10 times more people than our regular pantries last year, including drive-thrus.
Home Delivered Groceries
Many of our senior participants were sheltering in place and no longer had access to their weekly pantries. Together with partners and Food Bank volunteers, we ramped up our Home Delivered Groceries service to provide groceries to about 12,000 homebound seniors each week last year. This year, this program is still going strong, providing groceries to 10,000 households.
