How Jacob Bindman Is Fighting Food Insecurity in San Francisco | Eater

"A pandemic-born nonprofit that pays local restaurants to prepare meals for community distribution, pairing immediate food relief with support for small businesses. Backed by a major philanthropic pledge, it runs multiple feeding programs staffed by a growing team and partners with activists, organizers, and the city to get food to people in need. The organization also advocates for long-term changes in how local government contracts are awarded—seeking to make small businesses eligible for public feeding contracts typically dominated by large national distributors—and emphasizes sustainability broadly, including fair wages, worker practices, and sustained recovery support for both restaurants and food-insecure communities." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
