Providing hope to our residents

HERC, in part­ner­ship with the San Francisco Food Bank, has opened up a food pantry in the Alice Griffith Housing Project (Double Rock) to serve fresh food rations to its residents.

Double Rock res­i­dents are served fresh and canned food rations to take home to pro­vide healthy, nutri­tious fill­ing meals to their families.

Hunger is a symp­tom of poverty and the res­i­dents of Bayview Hunters Point are plagued by poverty.

11% of San Francisco’s pop­u­la­tion lives in poverty[1] and more than 150,000 San Franciscans live with the threat of going hungry.

Low income fam­i­lies, chil­dren, senior cit­i­zens on fixed incomes, home­less peo­ple, peo­ple liv­ing with HIV or AIDS, and peo­ple strug­gling to move from wel­fare to work can­not pay basic liv­ing expenses and put food on the table.

Rising unem­ploy­ment and the weak econ­omy have added to the need in San Francisco.

People who never relied on food assis­tance before are stand­ing in line
