San Francisco Food Bank

The San Francisco Food Bank is the hub of nonprofit food collection and distribution in the City, supplying the bulk of the food that many local agencies need to serve those living in poverty. We partner with community and non-profit organizations to provide food to programs in underserved neighborhoods through senior centers, daycare centers, public schools, soup kitchens and other venues.

The Pantry Network is our flagship initiative, bringing food directly into the neighborhoods where it is most needed through a farmers? market-style distribution to low-income families and individuals. We have approximately 170 pantries throughout San Francisco, serving more than 17,000 households yearly through various programs!

Volunteers are essential to our mission, with more than 12,000 people contributing 66,000 hours to ending hunger in San Francisco. This support enabled us to distribute 27 million pounds of food this year, enough for more than 58,000 nutritious meals a day.
