Organizational Overview

The San Francisco Food Bank was founded in the early 1980’s to collect donated food and distribute it to programs that feed the very poor. It has become San Francisco’s leading organization devoted to ending hunger and has set state and national standards for success.

After building a new food distribution center in 1997 and subsequently creating a network of over 200 neighborhood pantries, the San Francisco Food Bank distributes more food to its people in poverty than any food bank in the nation. We also lead the sector in distributing nutritious food. A decade ago we began soliciting donations of fresh produce directly from growers and packers and creating a year-around supply of fruits and vegetables for our clients. After expanding produce sourcing and distribution to other food banks in the San Francisco Bay Area, the program was renamed Farm to Family and placed with the California Association of Food Banks for the benefit of all food banks in California and the western United States. The program was featured in the NY Times Magazine in October 2009.  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11banks-t.html

In January 2011 we merged with the Marin Food Bank and have brought that county up to the service levels in San Francisco.

Because of our strong performance and innovations like these, we have asked our donor base for an exceptional level of support. That support has fueled our growth and allowed us to undertake new programs that have provided unparalleled benefit for those we serve.

We are a member of Feeding America, the nation’s food bank network. Through that affiliation we maintain nationally recognized standards. We connect with national donors of food and money and act together to affect national policies that help our clients. We are currently working with Feeding America on a national campaign targeting donors who are able to give $1 million + toward a joint campaign benefiting national and local priorities.

The San Francisco Food Bank is a leading advocate for better government programs to benefit those we serve. We work locally for better access to school meals, food stamps and other food programs. We advocate at the state and national level to streamline programs and cut red-tape that prevents and discourages clients from receiving benefits for which they qualify.  We seek to measure the impact of hunger through surveys and studies.

We act as a voice for those who seek assistance to feed themselves and their families. Through the media we speak out on issues of poverty and hunger to raise awareness and create action that supports both public and private efforts to combat hunger.
