The Food Pantry will be:
CLOSED FRIDAY JUNE 21
CLOSED FRIDAY JULY 5

The Food Pantry is an all-volunteer nonprofit–and we’re looking for new volunteers!
We’re located in Potrero Hill in San Francisco, and open on Fridays only. We unload and set up every Friday from 8:30 AM to about 11AM, and open to offer groceries from 12:30 PM until 3:30PM. We welcome your help for morning, afternoon, or both shifts: please note that we can NOT take groups.

We’re looking for friendly, hardworking volunteers who enjoy working with all kinds of people. We especially need multi-lingual (Cantonese/Russian/Spanish-speaking) volunteers, those who can help with heavy lifting, and those who love logistics and organizing! All ages fine; no groups, please.

A newly enrolled mother just wrote to us:
“I had a great experience last Friday. The grocery was healthy and exactly what we needed. The kids loved baked sweet potato tonight. We have also been eating the apples and oranges. They make the perfect snack. I want to thank you and your organization again for helping us out. The food pantry’s program cut our grocery bill by half this week. Our family really appreciate it!”
If you or your family need more food, please contact us, or come by The Food Pantry on a Friday. We look forward to meeting you!

See this wonderful story about The Food Pantry from KQED’s “Bay Area Bites,” which calls us “a sort of free pop-up farmers’ market for the poor.”

The Food Pantry will be closed the Friday after Thanksgiving. We’re grateful for all of our volunteers, and the whole community that makes this work possible.

You can support us through the holidays by making a donation: it costs us just $1 to provide groceries for a family for a week, and your $50 gift will help feed a family for a whole year.

Please make checks to The Food Pantry, and mail to 500 DeHaro, San Francisco CA 94107. All donations are tax-deductible.

We give thanks for you!

Come celebrate with us as we mark our twelfth anniversary! Friday, November 2 at 11:45 AM….

Our volunteer, Angel, helps one of our visitors, a month before her 101st birthday!

Thank you to Wanda….our cabbage lady yesterday, and the best-dressed volunteer at The Food Pantry!

We’re so grateful for all the volunteers who make The Food Pantry happen every Friday. If you’re interested in helping us out, please let us know!

Saturday July 28, the NEW TASTE MARKETPLACE, a monthly fundraiser for The Food Pantry, returns to St. Gregory’s from 2PM-7PM with more than twenty local chefs, bakers, food trucks and artisan food producers. Come eat, drink, buy treats to take home, and sample everything from Meyer lemon-blueberry pie, Madagascar chocolates, and caramel popcorn to bourbon-bacon BLTs, Southeast Asian charcuterie and tandoori lamb.

New Taste Marketplace happens the fourth Saturday of every month, from 2PM-7PM. 500 DeHaro St. San Francisco CA 94107.

Peace on earth, and delicious food for all!

The Food Pantry is run by a remarkable community of volunteers, who offer their hearts and souls, hard work, inventiveness, brains, language skills, patience, good humor, kindness and common sense every Friday to make it all happen.

This week we celebrated their contributions with a backyard picnic, giving thanks for the more than forty people of all ages whose contributions every week make The Food Pantry such a special place.
