Groceries for Seniors

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 getting 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.

Groceries for Seniors was thrilled to have a team from PwCPACIN (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) join our group of volunteers this morning to help us put together over 320 free grocery bags for low-income seniors in San Francisco. We'd like to thank Ashley Pan, Brendan Co, Jasmine Lam and Jerry Tran for their hard work, from building each bag one ingredient at a time to helping load the finished items into our van for delivery this afternoon. We really appreciate your dedication and hope you'll volunteer with us again real soon.

Groceries for Seniors is quite blessed to have volunteer teams like this group from Wells Fargo in to help us periodically. Twice a year (sometimes more), this particular branch joins our Groceries for Seniors family and helps us assemble over 330 free grocery bags for low-income seniors in San Francisco. We truly thank Maria Celestial, Philip Young, Becky Laxa, Lorelei Gandingco, Rie McAllister, John Lee, Liza Quintela, Teresita Quintela, and Linda Sam (who also recruits and coordinates these visits) for their hard work and generosity. And, there's talk of yet another volunteer session before the year's out. We can't wait!

This week Groceries for Seniors is honored to have not one, but TWO groups of volunteers from Wells Fargo join us to help assemble free grocery bags for low-income seniors in San Francisco. This morning we welcomed a group of 10 volunteers, some who were first-timers and some who were eager to help us again, and joining forces we put together over 230 bags, which the team also helped load into our van for delivery. We want to thank Regina Sung for helping coordinate this particular visit. And this Thursday, yet another team of Wells Fargo folks will join us for another session. A big THANK YOU to Wells Fargo for their generosity helping us carry out our mission.

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. Please read the article pictured here, and if you'd like to get involved - find out more by visiting groceriesforseniors.org.
