What began as a small grassroots effort in a Richmond District courtyard has grown into a neighborhood institution serving about 200 people a month – with one resident’s determination rippling across the community.
San Francisco is generally a wealthy city. But, according to the 2023 San Francisco Biennial Food Security Report, 67% of San Franciscans earning twice the Federal Poverty Level – more than 100,000 people – reported being food insecure. That means they do not know if they will have enough to eat due to a lack of money.
The Richmond Neighborhood Center’s newest food pantry is now open at George Peabody Elementary School.
The Richmond Neighborhood Center has been serving the Richmond District for 35 years by providing programs for all ages, including wellness classes, a food pantry and community events in the Richmond District.
