The Food Bank’s mission is to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin. This year, we will distribute 48 million pounds of food – enough for more than 109,000 meals each day. We partner with over 450 organizations – including 240 neighborhood pantries – to distribute food to low-income residents of San Francisco and Marin counties. Each week, more than 147,000 people are served by our programs.

This is a mission-oriented, challenging and friendly place to work. Our success relies on the people who work for our organization. If you would like to be a part of building a community where no one suffers from hunger, please consider joining our team of talented and dedicated individuals.
