The unhoused depend on a network of resources for food. CORVIN-19 has severely affected that network and it’s ability to deliver food where needed.

Below is a list current as of the 20th of March of organizations that are serving the un-housed in San Francisco.  If you are one of our readers in the Bay Area we urge you to contact one of the places about helping, in whatever way possible, with food.  If you aren’t in the Bay Area check around where you are for similar programs.

Thanks.  Robert Gumpert/Peter Olney, co-editors of the Stansbury Forum.

Meals and Food Resources Update 2020-03-20

Here are a few updates on food that have been gone over during our Provider calls this week.

Please support and remind participants that getting food is an essential activity even during the shelter in place order in San Francisco. It’s important to stay as up to date as you can of all the free food options that are still in operation across the city for your participants. While many programs have adjusted how they are providing food, they are still operational. Congregate meal programs such as St. Anthony’s, Glide, and Mother Browns are still feeding people by handing out to-go meals. Participants should utilize these options.

Families 
In addition families with school age children should be utilizing the free meal program that SFUD is operating right now, information found here https://www.sfusd.edu/services/health-wellness/nutrition-school-meals 

Food Bank
We would like all programs that were operating food pantries at their sites to continue to do so or if you have stopped to start again. Food distribution can be done safely by packing and handing out individual bags of groceries.

Also — please use the Food Bank’s resources. Here is the link to where you can locate their current and expanding food pantries: https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/find-food/  or on their website use their “food locator tool”

If you already have an account with the Food Bank please reach out to your neighborhood representative to talk through your current needs and what resources they have.

Food Runners
Food Runners has been a great resource to support meal drop-offs at sites of donations they receive, often of perishable foods. Please connect with them by emailing dispatcher@foodrunners.org.

Finally, one more reminder to reach out to 440turk@sfgov.org with additional concerns and needs when it comes to your food resources. We also understand at this time that many programs are expanding their own food budget and resources for their participants. We greatly appreciate all that you are doing.
