Donate:
The Haight Ashbury Food Program relies on generous donations
from our neighbors and supporters. Every donation goes directly
to the operation of our program, feeding people in need and providing
job training and placement for those who are homeless and unemployed.
Every donation makes a difference, no matter how big or how small.
We also accept in-kind donations of food, office supplies, and
classroom materials. To donate, send checks to our main offices at:
HAFP, 1525 Waller St., San Francisco, CA 94117.

Volunteers:
The Haight Ashbury Food Program sends a very special thank you
to all of our volunteers, without whom we simply could not exist.
* The many individuals and groups who come in daily and weekly to
assist us with the preparation and serving of our daily
meal
* Our all volunteer Safety Team who ensure that our meals are served
in a safe environment and assist us with maintaining
a neighborly presence
* The individuals and groups who assist us with special projects such
as the designing of this web site and of our brochure
* The volunteers who assist us with the preparation and
serving of our holiday feasts
* Our long-term volunteers who have been a daily part of the food
program for years on end – including Frank Sexton,
who has been
with us virtually every day since the inception of the
program in 1983!
The love and dedication of these volunteers is what makes our meals so
delicious and comforting. Thank you to all – and as our Volunteer
Coordinator, Judy Woods, always says – WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!!!
