Industry friends and colleagues: If you have surplus food available to donate, or if you would like to volunteer time, Food Runners SF is in need of food to help the under served in these critical times.
Many thanks to @PalaceHotelSF and @FSSanFrancisco for ensuring their perishable food items did not go to waste during the crisis. We were able to relay over 2,000 lbs of food each to agencies feeding the hungry in San Francisco. #bayareacoronavirus#bayarealockdown#bayarea
@ChefCosentino1 Thank you for being a vital voice in hunger relief efforts here in the bay area. Please keep us posted as we have relayed over 20 tons of food already this week from restaurants, hotels, and catering operations to agencies feeding the hungry and ready to serve
Deeply grateful tonight to Chris Consentino of @cockscomb_sf. He, his wife and team made 125 meals tonight and personally delivered them to three of the hospitals.
Thank you to all of the sponsors and chefs who signed up today. More to come soon!
@lucchesi@rsarver@ChefCosentino1@stanthonysf We are ready to relay food from restaurants to recipient agencies feeding the hungry. With all the chaos involved in shutting down, our volunteers will make it quick and easy to ensure your perishable food feeds those in need
@lucchesi We are running at warp-speed now. We serve over 300 recipients and list is growing as temporary food pantries pop up. Thanks for helping spread the word. Restaurant community can call or email us and we'll send someone immediately and ensure food goes to right places
Two days into the week, already incredible numbers to share, with more than:
- 200 Food Runs completed
- 20,000lbs of food donated (normally 25k for entire week)
- 100 new volunteers signed up
- 80 Individual organizations supported
and one more-than-loaded-minivan
Update: Food Runners will continue to provide essential hunger relief support during this shelter at home period. Thank you to all of the generous businesses and individuals who have stepped up in a major way in this time of need. @eatclub@salesforce@Facebook@PhilzCoffee
