Home-Delivered Groceries

For thousands of homebound residents in San Francisco, a weekly knock on the door brings a delivery of fresh groceries and a friendly visit. Every bag includes a balance of nutritious foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, lean protein, and whole grains. Thanks to the support of the San Francisco Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS), we continue to expand this service that serves as a lifeline for so many people.

Many participants are unable to visit our pantries because of mobility challenges, but they still have the desire and ability to prepare meals at home. They benefit greatly from the autonomy that comes with cooking and preparing their own meals with fresh groceries delivered to their homes.

After the shelter in place order in March 2020, we expanded this service into Home-Delivered Groceries to reach the many seniors that had to stay home to protect their health. At the height of the pandemic, the service served over 12,000 people. Now, the program has expanded to serve 11,500 homebound neighbors each week.
