Food Pantry
For over a decade, The Women's Building has actively fought food insecurity in San Francisco's Mission District and beyond. Every Monday, in partnership with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, we distribute free food to individuals and families in need. Join us to receive essential groceries and support our community's well-being.

Food Pantry
Fresh and nutritious food is essential for a healthy life. Plus, being able to cook at home means that you can control what you eat and share family and cultural traditions. The Women’s Building collaborates with the San Francisco Food Bank to provide a weekly food pantry for immigrant and/or low-income families in need. Sign up to participate with our front Pantry Team. Please bring your ID with a current home address. If your ID does not have your current home address, please bring a piece of mail with the current home address. You can sign up during Food Pantry hours, or at the Community Resource Room Monday through Friday.
