San Francisco’s COVID-19 Emergency Response & Recovery Fund

Donations will directly support:

Taking care of our most medically and economically vulnerable neighbors, including individuals who must isolate per public health guidance and those facing economic hardship or a housing crisis related to COVID-19.

Local businesses and nonprofits that are not only significant contributors to the economy, but also are valued parts of our neighborhoods. Support will help businesses weather temporary closures or reduced demand due to the public health crisis.

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley

Second Harvest is the grocery store for the most vulnerable members of the community and one of few organizations open as we “shelter in place.” During public health crises like the COVID-19 outbreak, kids and families on the brink of poverty are disproportionately impacted. When schools are closed and hourly wages are scaled back, the service they provide is even more critical. Yet, they’re facing unprecedented challenges with rapid changes to their volunteer workforce and distribution networks. Now more than ever, they need your support to make sure anyone who needs a healthy meal can get one.

To help out, you can donate virtually below. Every $1 you donate helps provide $7 worth of nutritious food to children, adults, and seniors in the community. Your support ensures Alameda County Community Food Bank is able to respond quickly to emergencies.

Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano

The need for services during this national emergency will only grow with reduced or disappearing paychecks and children no longer able to receive their school meals because of shutdowns. They are anticipating many hardworking people who have never needed their services before to find themselves at a food distribution for the first time. People who would like to support their work can do so below.
