Over 7000 families across San Francisco received a special holiday meal from the 5th Annual Feeding 5000

Hundreds of volunteers came together on a rainy Saturday morning (with a tornado warning, no less!) and helped distribute turkeys and produce boxes this past December – spirits were high, music was blasting, and everyone went home with a smile that day.

A special thanks to the SF Dept of Public Health, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and the SF African American Faith-based Coalition for partnering on this event.

Since launching in 2020 during the pandemic, Feeding 5,000 has become a shining beacon of hope, distributing food to over 22,700 households. This initiative reflects the unwavering commitment of faith-based congregations to combat food insecurity and support our community.

The San Francisco African American Faith-Based Coalition includes over 21 churches passionately advocating for the underserved Black community, representing more than 6,000 residents. For more information or to connect with SFAAFBC, please email [email protected].

The nonprofit Livable City aims to empower and inspire San Franciscans to create an equitable, healthy, and sustainable future. LC leads a wide range of open streets initiatives and policy advocacy, as well as technical assistance on all aspects of community events. For more information, please contact [email protected].
