How do I actually get food from San Francisco-Marin Food Bank?
The Food Bank works through weekly pantries and programs rather than its warehouses. Use the Food Locator tool at sfmfoodbank.org/find-food to find weekly free groceries, monthly senior food boxes, one-time emergency food, or CalFresh sign-up help; the page and locator are available in Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Other routes: home-delivered groceries every week for low-income seniors, adults 18+ with a disability, pregnant people, parents of a child under 12 months, or parents of a child 17 or under with disabilities that make attending a pantry difficult - phone 415-824-3663 or email [email protected] and apply. The Supplemental Food Program gives a monthly USDA box to low-income seniors over 60. Printable program guides are offered in nine languages, and dialling 211 gives options from other organisations.
When is San Francisco-Marin Food Bank open?
Not published as a single schedule. Pantry days and hours appear in the online Food Locator for each site. Home-delivered groceries arrive weekly; the senior Supplemental Food Program box is monthly.
Does San Francisco-Marin Food Bank cost anything?
Free. Groceries, senior boxes, deliveries and CalFresh help are all free; no fee or donation is mentioned.
What do I need to bring?
Not stated on the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank page we read. Bring an ID and something with your address if you have them, and bags or a box for the food — but do not stay home for lack of paperwork; most pantries take you anyway.
