Imagine, at just eleven years old, losing the only parent
you ever knew and suddenly needing to be taken in by your eighty-year-old
grandmother.
That’s exactly what happened to Gabriel and his sister
Jessica*. And as they faced so much loss, the last thing they needed was
to wonder where their next meal might come from.
Luckily his grandmother Remedios, who—despite living on a
fixed income—was determined to be strong with the help of the Food Bank:
Remedios says, “I have to be positive. It’s hard, but I
have to take it one day at a time. My daughter left us, but thankfully,
God is at our side, and so is the Food Bank.”

A stocked kitchen is so important for a family’s
stability. Nothing hinders a child’s physical, emotional, and mental
development more than hunger. Your support now can ensure that, even when
a crisis arises, kids like Gabriel and Jessica can always rely on a
foundation of steady, nourishing meals.

P.S. Our Missing Meals report reveals that San Francisco
and Marin families like Remedios’ are typically unable to afford 14% of
their meals, even after government and nonprofit assistance. Help us
make sure that no child faces hunger »
