Urban Farming

Food prices continue to rise! Food needs for families is at an all time high. Have you bought eggs lately?

​

Funding for food has drastically decreased at the Mission Food Hub. We have been working at long term solutions to grow our own food in San Francisco in partnership with our Native American brothers and sisters.

About Our Organization

Feeding Our Community

The Mission Food Hub was founded in May 2020 to provide culturally appropriate groceries for families who were affected by COVID-19. In San Francisco, food inequity is currently impacting over 12,000 Latinos who are unemployed and the Mission District was ground zero for the coronavirus. We started providing 500 families with one grocery bag a week. The lines of people rapidly grew to 1,800 within a couple of weeks. During the height of the pandemic, we were serving 9,000 households a week with culturally appropriate groceries.

Our Mission & Core Values

We collectively serve our community by procuring and distributing culturally-appropriate and nutritious food to ensure the well-being of families and individuals. We are motivated by love, respect, and a desire to provide dignity to our Latino people who are experiencing hunger and are in need of food.

Social Justice

We commit to addressing the root causes of food inequity in the Latino community and advocate for social justice change to ensure the availability of safe, sufficient, and nutritious food. We believe good nutrition is a human right and that empowered people and communities thrive.

Respect

We honor the inherent worth and dignity of every person and treat all with equity and love.

Collaboration

We build strong relationships and partnerships by collaborating with diverse people, organizations, churches, government agencies, and neighborhoods who share our vision of a healthy, hunger-free Latino community. Our collaborations will address the root causes of hunger, promote entrepreneurial creativity, and maintain optimism to develop opportunities for permanent employment, self-employment and business development for Latino people.
