Upon driving up you can't help but notice that their building is HUGE! It's as big as a Costco! Tons of trailers were docked getting filled up by the many volunteers. They even had a Amazon trailer at the loading/unloading dock. There were approximately 30+ volunteers. We all gathered at the picnic tables inside the warehouse. Coffee, Tea, and snacks were provided - nice touch. We all worked together to load many boxes of food that were sent on a rolling conveyor belt with volunteers all along it. I was a team of 2 that stacked the boxes on multiple pallets before a forklift driver whisked them away. It was so awesome to be apart of. If you ever have a chance to volunteer please do so.

Mission Food Hub is a grassroots organization aimed at feeding hungry Hispanic families in San…read moreFrancisco's Mission District in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. After community surveys were administered it was determined that thousands of people in the Mission were struggling to put food on their tables, thus community leaders from organizations such as Carnaval San Francisco, Latino Task Force, Mission Economic & Cultural Association, Mission Language & Vocational School and others created the Mission Food Hub food pantry. The program accepts food donations from local businesses and monetary donations which are in turn used to purchase food for the pantry. Grocery items are geared towards a Hispanic diet, but the pantry is open to all families who need the food. I found out about Mission Food Hub through the Carnaval San Francisco page on Facebook, and since I hadn't returned to work yet I decided to volunteer on a Tuesday morning at their distribution center located at 701 Alabama Street in the Mission. Volunteers are accepted on a first come, first serve basis on distribution days which are currently Tuesdays and Saturdays. (As of 5-29-20 this has changed to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.) I was assigned first to monitor the lines outside which snake around several blocks in the neighborhood. Food distribution began at 12:00 noon, but on this day they decided to start early as word got around and there were lots of people lined up as early as 9:00 AM. I later was given the task of helping to register families. Food recipients are asked to provide their name, address, telephone number and number of persons in their household. The data is used to survey the community on what their current needs are. For the Taco Tuesday which I helped at each food recipient received a full produce box filled with full bags of apples, oranges, carrots, potatoes, onions, and romaine lettuce hearts. In addition there was a shopping bag containing a 10 pound bag of frozen raw chicken, bags of rice, beans and tortillas. There is a 1 box, 1 bag limit for each person and if somebody is recognized as someone trying to acquire more than that they are asked to leave. In addition staff from UCSF and medical students from UC Davis were also volunteering helping to hand out free face masks and inform the public about free COVID-19 testing in San Francisco. The Mission District as a whole has some of the highest concentrations of positive COVID-19 cases in the City. For that Tuesday where I helped we distributed food to upwards of 1500 recipients. The program currently beginning its fifth week is continuing to evolve week by week ever changing as to what works and what doesn't work. The community leaders who have created this program have pledged to try to get 1 million dollars donated, and I've learned that they are currently about 1/5 of the way there. The decision makers for this program plan to keep it running for 6 months or however long it is needed. I plan to donate more of my time in volunteering. If you know of any San Francisco residents struggling to put food on their tables due to the current pandemic please inform them about Mission Food Hub. Anybody wishing to donate money can do so through the Carnaval website at http://www.carnavalsanfrancisco.org/. Updates on the food pantry itself including the updated hours are regularly updated on the Carnaval San Francisco Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CarnavalSanFrancisco.

If you are a home owner in the Bay Area, you probably have a fruit tree, or two, on your property…read more And if you take care of these trees, they bestow you with an abundance of fruit - lemons, oranges, tangerines, mandarins, grapefruit, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, figs, pomegranates - more than you can possible eat, make into pies, jams, or pickles, or give away to neighbors, family or friends. Often, no one wants your excess fruit, because they have plenty of their own, thank you! And then you're in a jam, or pickle (both puns intended) because the tree rats (aka squirrels) start attacking your fruit, or it rots on your tree or in your yard. But not in our home! Because we pick ALL our fruit, and donate the excess to TriValley Haven Food Pantry in Livermore! We walk in (they are currently at 150 North L Street), no appointment needed, and drop off the fruit, which gets donated to families in need. They'll even give you a donation receipt, handy for your tax return. You're welcome!
