The Food Pantry celebrated sixteen years of work this November, with deep gratitude for all our amazing volunteers, participants and donors.

We know what a hard year it’s been for people in our city, our nation, and around the world. Folks feel unmoored by current events, and frightened as they try to keep their families safe. Amid sorrow, conflict, displacement, political upheaval and economic uncertainty, it remains a great blessing to participate in The Food Pantry––a place where every week, no matter what, all kinds of people come together to share food with their neighbors, and to care for each other in the most basic way.

At The Food Pantry, we believe in building community by empowering people to work together and share food with others. It’s a privilege to be part of such a diverse, growing community–-and we invite you to be part of this meaningful work!

The Food Pantry receives no government, foundation or church money; we’re sustained by people who care about making a real difference. Your donation of $60 will help feed a family for an entire year: donate online, or mail a check to: The Food Pantry, 500 DeHaro, San Francisco CA 94107.

And come volunteer with us on a Friday, any time from 9AM-3PM–all ages are welcome. Thank you!

Note: The Food Pantry will be closed November 25, December 23 and December 30, 2016.

Halloween at the pantry

Summer is here! We’ve got melons, stone fruit, and fresh vegetables. Come lend a hand any Friday from 12noon-3PM.

Spring is coming! We’re enjoying the last of the winter root vegetables, and getting in the first bright green produce.
The Food Pantry will be CLOSED ON FRIDAY MARCH 25 for Holy Week, but then we’ll be back and celebrating spring. Come join us!

The Food Pantry will open January 8th. We look forward to seeing you in 2016.

Thank you for another wonderful year of The Food Pantry!

We will be CLOSED Christmas Day (December 25) and CLOSED on New Years Day, January 1; we re-open on January 8, 2016.

Please join us in celebrating the holidays by donating to The Food Pantry: your gift of $60 helps us buy food for one family for a year.

You can donate online using the DONATE button at the top of this page, or mail your check to: The Food Pantry, 500 DeHaro Street, San Francisco CA 94107. All gifts are fully tax-deductible, and received with gratitude!

Thanks to all our student volunteers from Live Oak 4th&5th grade and their teacher Naomi, who have been working with us five at a time this year. They all came today, spoke beautifully about their experiences, and serenaded The Food Pantry with “People Get Ready.” We’re so grateful for their participation.

The Food Pantry will be CLOSED on Good Friday, Friday April 3. We will be open again on Friday April 10.

On Friday, January 16, we’ll gather at The Food Pantry at 10:30 AM to remember our friend and friend Lauren Coleman, who died last week. Lauren was a volunteer at the pantry for nearly ten years: her warmth and laughter will be missed. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Thank you for a wonderful 2014! We’re closed the Friday after Christmas (December 26) and New Years’ (January 2) and will re-open January 9 (red day.)
