Home-Delivered Groceries

For thousands of homebound residents in San Francisco and Marin, a weekly knock on the door brings a delivery of fresh groceries and a friendly visit. Every bag includes a balance of nutritious foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, lean protein, and whole grains. This program serves as a lifeline for people who are unable to attend one of our pantries.

Many participants are unable to visit our pantries because of mobility challenges, but they still have the desire and ability to prepare meals at home. They benefit greatly from the autonomy that comes with cooking and preparing their own meals with fresh groceries delivered to their homes.

After the shelter in place order in March 2020, we expanded this service into Home-Delivered Groceries to reach the many seniors that had to stay home to protect their health. At the height of the pandemic, the service served over 12,000 people.

We are grateful to our county funders for supporting this program that serves the community. The City of San Francisco’s Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) provides funding for this program, which helps older adults and people with disabilities live independently and with dignity. Additionally, this program receives funding from the Marin County Area Agency on Aging, which administers federal, state, and local funds to enhance the quality of life of older adults in Marin County. We thank them for their generosity and commitment to our community.
