Thank you for considering the San Francisco Food Bank for your food donation! Whether you're a packer, grocer or producer, we will ensure that your food donation reaches people to need it.
When you donate food to the San Francisco Food Bank, you are helping to meet the needs of tens of thousands of people in San Francisco and Marin.
Donating food also enables you to:
- Reduce handling costs
- Capture tax benefits
- Put excess inventory to good use
And you can give with confidence - as a food donor, you are protected from liability through the 1996 Good Samaritan Act.
In most cases, we will pick your donation up free of charge.
We welcome surplus and imperfect food that is still perfectly edible and safe to consume.
We are capable of accepting:
- Bulk quantities
- Dry, refrigerated or frozen foods
- Limited quantities of essential non-food items such as soap and toiletries.
If you are interested in making food donations regularly, we can also set up a recurring pick-up.
