SF-Marin Food Bank

Hunger is still rising, even five years after the pandemic began. Before COVID-19, 1 in 5 neighbors was at risk of hunger. Now, the need is even greater. Every week, nearly 49,000 households count on the Food Bank for support. Rain or shine, we distribute food for over one million meals to those who need it most. You can help sustain this critical work by joining our Monthly Giving Circle. For a limited time, your recurring gift will be doubled thanks to a generous $75,000 matching gift from the Gilead Sciences Foundation. Your monthly support fuels long-term solutions. From daily food distribution to CalFresh enrollment and Home-Delivered Groceries, your commitment helps address hunger at its roots. Join by March 31 to make twice the impact for local families. Plus, as a thank you, you’ll receive an exclusive branded apron! Be part of a community dedicated to ending hunger. Give monthly today! ?? https://loom.ly/hNI0e44

A few weeks ago, the streets of Chinatown shimmered under a steady downpour, rain drumming against rooftops and streaking down windows. At the Presbyterian Church of Chinatown pantry, volunteers pressed on to serve our participants, unfazed by the weather. In the midst of it all, tangerines sat glistening with fresh raindrops, vibrant as ever, just like the community that came together that day. ???

When I lived in Austin, TX, I did a TON of volunteering. It felt energizing and inspiring to be heavily involved in my community. But since I moved a few times and my sense of "community" became more distributed, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that my volunteering efforts dropped off. So, this year, I set an intention to do more community service wherever I happen to be. Since my new role is remote, I wasn't expecting it to happen at work. However, when our company offsite was approaching, Britta Glade reached out to propose that our team volunteer at SF-Marin Food Bank-- the intention was already starting to come true! This week, we had a great time connecting, working together, and packing 550 grocery bags for real people in the community. If you're planning an offsite or team activity, I highly recommend making volunteering a part of it. The boundaries of our human community extend across the globe, and it always feels good to give back!

Humbled to take a few hours to give back to the community today with Fortinet and Zynga’s Volunteer Time Off programs. Alon Zaslavsky and I helped to build 897 boxes, 18,816 lbs of food, that get distributed to local Churches that get to families in San Francisco and Marin counties through the SF-Marin Food Bank. Proud to work for a company that supports these activities and grateful to volunteer with my partner on his birthday as we set an example for our next generation! It takes just a little to make a big impact. #volunteer #feedingAmerica #FortinetintheCommunity #zcares

I had a wonderful time working this morning with the SF-Marin Food Bank at Jones Memorial United Methodist Church! ?? Each week we make a comprehensive grocery bag for individuals who need our assistance! It is so much fun to work hard for a meaningful cause and connect with other volunteers! I plan on continuing my service, and highly recommend this opportunity to others who wish to give back! Link to SF-Marin Food Bank https://lnkd.in/gsuBvPq5

Happy Women’s History Month! This month, we honor the women shaping the future of food justice — storytellers, healers, and community builders. From launching food pantry partnerships with the Food Bank to advocating for policies that demand hunger-free communities, their impact is woven into the neighborhoods they strengthen, the communities they sustain, the lives they uplift. We celebrate the efforts of these #HungerHeros to create a world without hunger.

Beautiful, thick green crowns of broccoli as seen at our partner pantry, Presbyterian Church of Chinatown! ?? Rain welcomed us during this visit, but it didn’t stop the outpouring of volunteer support at this pantry!

As part of #NBACares Day of Service during All-Star Weekend, we welcomed students from Morehouse College and Tuskegee University — two of the nation’s top HBCUs—for a day of social impact. We caught up with Seth from Morehouse College, who shared that February 14, which was also #NBACares day, also marked Morehouse’s Founder’s Day—making the moment even more special. With HBCUs being rare on the West Coast, Seth described the day as?revolutionary—a powerful convergence of two historic institutions coming together in San Francisco to serve the community. We were honored by the contributions of the students from these two historic HBCUs and their commitment to collective action.????? ?#HBCUPride #AllStarWeekend

I thoroughly enjoyed making boxes of food that directly support senior adults in SF and Marin county. SF-Marin Food Bank relies on volunteers to package food for participants. This was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon while making an impact on our community. I highly recommend rounding up your coworkers and take 2 hours to package food!
