Food Pantry
Every Saturday we have the joy of joining in the heart of Jesus by distributing food from the SF Marin food bank to folks in our neighborhood who are experiencing food scarcity. In a city of abundance, there is no reason why anyone should not have enough to eat! Currently we serve nearly 275 people each week. Some of the participants are elderly, some young, families, students, immigrants, some homeless...people from all walks of life!
Each week the Food Bank drops off several pallets of food, including canned items, fresh fruits and vegetables, some kind of protein such as chicken, eggs, meat or beans, rice and other grains. Our volunteers help to unload the food and set up a "farmer's market." We then pass out the food to the participants. Finally, we clean up which includes flattening all the cardboard boxes and crates in which the food and produce was packed. It is a flurry of activity but is fun at the same time!
We welcome volunteers. Send us a message at foodpantry@gfccsf.org if you are interested in helping out on a Saturday between 12-3:00pm!
If you are in need of food, you can call the Food Bank at 415-824-3663, or you can come to the Pantry after between 1:15 and 1:45pm to sign up.
