Our Mission


"Food insecurity rates among participants of city funded and community programs are up to 83% despite receiving some meals or grocery bags."

- 2023 San Francisco Biennial Food Security and Equity Report

Our mission is to gather resources in one place and mobilize donations to provide essential food support for San Francisco’s underserved communities. Proper nutrition is crucial for health and survival, yet many suffer from food insecurity and inadequate diets. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the need for accessible food an even more urgent issue. The pandemic increased grocery prices, food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. We are dedicated to combating this issue by starting with San Francisco and aiming to expand our provided resources to include many more communities in need and have a global impact. Our website offers resources for food assistance programs to ensure access to vital nutrition. By increasing food donations, we strive to prevent malnutrition and promote healthier lives for those in need.
