CLC Food Networks Receive Funding for Another Year

Last week, the Aging and Adult Services Commission approved funding for another year for the Food Networks in the Ocean-Merced-Ingleside (OMI) neighborhood, Park Merced and University Park Apartment area, and Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco.

Community Living Campaign has developed Food Networks to reach out to seniors 80 years and older, as well as to adults of any age who have a disability that prevents them from standing in food pantry lines. A CLC Connector organizes each neighborhood network, but the program depends on a core  team of neighborhood volunteers. In addition to food deliveries, these neighbors develop trust and relationships that reintegrate participants with their community, connecting them with formal services and more informal support.  We look forward to continuing to strengthen and to expand the program over the coming year to the Richmond and other neighborhoods in the southern part of the City.
