Food Assistance
All Ages Bayview Hunters Point YMCA, Chinatown YMCA, Mission YMCA, Richmond District YMCA, Urban Services YMCA
Our food pantries have served thousands of families in communities throughout the San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin counties. Since March of 2020, more than 10,000 households in San Francisco rely on our 17 food pantries for their weekly groceries as well as the connection with our staff and volunteers.
Seniors, families and any individual struggling with food insecurity have one less thing to worry about when they receive a bag of groceries and supplies at one of our Food Pantry locations. We serve more than 6,970 at our Food Pantries each week.
Throughout San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo counties our most vulnerable youth, adults, families and seniors are facing an increased threat of food insecurity. For many of our neighbors, increased joblessness and suspended access to food support services like free school lunch programs mean more mouths to feed with fewer resources. Now more than ever, our food pantry services are in high demand. To meet this increased need, we have expanded our food distribution programs to serve more than 2800 community members and families at 11 locations.
Please note some of these locations require sign-ups before access to resources. Please be sure to connect with branches and leads before coming to Food Pantry days.
