Wages aren't keeping up
The cost of living in Marin and San Francisco is so high that an individual would need to work approximately 1.5 full-time minimum wage jobs in San Francisco and 1.75 in Marin just to cover their basic expenses.3 This financial reality is why even with 70% of respondents working and 35% having multiple jobs, many in our community are struggling to get by.
1,000,000+ meals distributed every week
The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank’s mission is to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin, where even before the pandemic, one in five neighbors was at risk of hunger. We envision a community where everyone has access to nutritious food of their choosing and is uplifted by a network of support. Together with community partners, we work to address hunger head-on through neighborhood food pantries, CalFresh enrollment, home-delivered groceries, and policy and advocacy efforts. We work with our community to create lasting solutions to address both the hunger we see today and the root causes that perpetuate food insecurity in our society. Almost 50,000 households count on us for food assistance. 70% of what we distribute is fresh fruits and vegetables. Visit sfmfoodbank.org to learn more.
