The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is $1,800, more than the average service-sector employee’s monthly paycheck and more than an entire month’s check on public assistance. Many face an unacceptable choice between using their limited income for rent or food. We help many families make ends meet by providing bags of non-perishable staple food items such as canned vegetables, chili, rice and peanut butter. A gift of $250 provides one month of food supplies and often helps a family stay in their home.
