OUR MISSION
The City Eats is an organization that is dedicated to unifying communities through the
purpose of eradicating hunger and providing resources amongst the unhoused and low-income
individuals across the world. They prepare and distribute healthy balanced meals personally- with love, care, and compassion on a weekly basis. The City Eats’ vision is to create a world without food insecurity by ensuring communities across the nation and worldwide have access to food.
Goal & Objective
In the San Francisco Bay Area (SF/Oakland), there are roughly more than 35,000 individuals that are in need of a decent meal or a safe place to sleep. Since the pandemic, The City Eats organization caters to the unhoused, elderly, low-income individuals, and families primarily in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. However, the organization has and continues to service different areas of the world that includes Brazil, Philippines, Ghana and Nigeria.
The City Eats has approximately 30-60 youth and adults that volunteer during our monthly feeds, where together we make an estimate of over 1500 hot meals. Food then is distributed throughout the San Francisco Tenderloin, Civic Center and other areas that need the additional resource of providing meals to their communities. The City Eats services areas in Oakland, where approximately 200-300 meals are distributed with the Oakland volunteers to unhoused and low income individuals and families. In coordination with the City Team and other non-profit organizations, The City Eats strives to provide additional special feeds throughout the month to reach the monthly feeding target of 3,000 meals.
The City Eats goal and objective is to battle food insecurity nationwide and worldwide. As you can see, The City Eats has been a great help and assistance within their community and has a positive impact.
our story
Since 2014, we’ve raised awareness of homelessness and otherwise forgotten communities and individuals. What started as a dream to help a few people in our local community has already become a nationwide movement. To date, The City Eats has managed to help serve an estimated 5,000 families and individuals through our feeds and we aim to increase that number every month.
give back
Our team works to form partnerships with other organizations, local businesses, and community leaders to provide the extra level of support for those in need. Donations of both monetary and goods enable The City Eats to provide balanced meals that are assembled by volunteers during our monthly feed events. Change IS possible and with the help of committed individuals, we can continue to transform lives, strengthen communities, and touch hearts.
