Groceries for Seniors

Each week we deliver over 1000 free bags of groceries to low-income seniors Our clients live with the daily threat of hunger.

San Francisco has approximately 40,000 seniors whose income level falls below the federal poverty line. Being food-insecure can worsen chronic health problems that can in turn lead to hospitalization. Food is a basic human need and without an adequate diet people cannot fight off disease and infection. Low income seniors must often choose between purchasing food or buying medicine to keep from get

ting sick. Groceries for Seniors distributes nutritious fresh food to approximately 1,000 senior citizens in San Francisco every week. Without our help, many of our elderly neighbors would go hungry.

We want to thank Niella Grajales, Jose Melara, Peter Wen, Andrew Cunningham, Yuan-Yuan Wen, Philip Ra & his son Ollie, Zion Lewis, and Sokangna Sun (who helped coordinate this visit).

Groceries for Seniors wants to thank writer Christina Gray and Catholic San Francisco for this very nice profile of our organization in their June 2026 issue. We also wish to thank the Fathers and staff of Old Saint Mary's Cathedral for their continued support and generosity, allowing us to use their basement auditorium as our base of operation all these years. A tremendous shout out to all our volunteers who help us with our mission each week is also in order, especially the various local businesses who organize team outings joining forces with us throughout the year (like this group from Wells Fargo pictured)! Thanks to all of you, Groceries for Seniors continues to deliver over 1,200 free grocery bags to low income seniors in San Francisco.
