Serving San Francisco

It's an amazing feeling to be able to give back to the community. San Francisco is full of opportunity. So why not do something this Christmas?

San Francisco Food Bank says that "In San Francisco, 197,000 people struggle each day to feed themselves and their families. In Marin, just over 40,000 people - or 16% of the population - face the threat of hunger on a given day.

&&&
237,000 is the number of people who live at or below 185% of the federal poverty line in San Francisco and Marin - $33,873 per year for a family of three. It's at this income level that children are eligible for Free and Reduced Price Meals and families are eligible for WIC. Very often, these families lack the resources to provide enough food to consistently nourish themselves."


With that said, think about what you can do to help out this holiday season.

With plenty of places to choose from, yelp.com gives some great reviews on where some people volunteered their time to help out their community. Anything help for these wonderful people just trying to make the best of their lives, just like you and me.

Donations of food and other necessities are always welcome of you cannot donate your time. Enjoy your holidays this winter. Spread the love.


Happy holidays everyone!
