The San Francisco Food Bank helps provide healthy meals to families all over San Francisco and Marin through 246 weekly farmer’s market-style pantries. The food bank gets an enormous amount of volunteers every day of the week that last year volunteers help provide 146,000 hours of help – equivalent to 70 full time staff. The impact that this creates to the services the food bank provides are 47 million pounds of food which makes it possible to provide 100,00 meals each and every day, 30,000 families receive wholesome foods at the farmer’s market-style pantries, and 225,000 people nourished through their programs. We chose to volunteer at the San Francisco Food Bank because we wanted to be part of the great impact it does to the community.
