No one should go hungry in our community. Your donation can make that possible.
Hunger at Home invites local restaurants, hospitality providers, caterers, and other food vendors to donate their high-quality, large-volume excess food for distribution to homeless shelters and meal centers operated by our nonprofit partners.
From much-needed protein and canned goods to fresh vegetables and bakery products, your excess food will make a difference to thousands of people who are hungry in our community.
We work directly with our business partners and can schedule regular or custom pickups, depending on your business’s needs.
Our Got Surplus? program invites local businesses to donate excess or gently used supplies, including housewares, electronics, furniture, linens and hygiene and grooming products.
Through our non-profit network, Hunger at Home will repurpose these items for use in homeless shelters, low-income housing, and other worthy nonprofit projects.
Help Hunger at Home help others by becoming a corporate sponsor. Through a day-long team building event, your organization will have a hands-on volunteer experience like no other. Your team will collect and distribute food and supplies for those in need in the Bay Area. This unique opportunity enables your employees to step out of the office and grow as a team, while also increasing their personal awareness as they serve the community.
