How to Donate Food

Food Runners will pick up most kitchen prepared food. If you have food to donate, all you have to do is call us. We'll arrange to pick up your food!

To donate food in San Francisco, package it and leave a message on 415.929.1866 with the type and amount of food and the name and address or your business. If you call in the morning a volunteer or our truck driver will come that same day. If you call in the afternoon, Food Runners will come the next morning. Any amount of food is welcome.

Large amounts of non-perishable food such as canned or frozen food should be donated to the San Francisco Food Bank 415.282.1900.
