"I learned that Sharing Excess has set aside avocados for local food banks, with Share Food Program named as one recipient of part of the 150,000 avocados reserved for food banks." - Dayna Evans
"Originally a small crew feeding people at encampments, this loose, rapidly expanding mutual aid collective grew from seven people running one day a week to roughly 44 people operating five days a week, scaling up a backyard pop-up outdoor kitchen into a larger operation that at the uprising’s height served about 300 meals a day and now prepares roughly 120 meals a day out of a partner commercial kitchen. The group centers feeding unhoused and primarily BIPOC community members, prioritizes meeting people where they are, tailoring meals to dietary and dental needs, rejecting saviorist models, maintaining consistent relationships amid violent evictions, and sourcing donations primarily through networks such as the North Country Food Alliance." - Luz Cruz
"A program where every time a customer orders a menu item marked with the Mealshare logo at a participating restaurant, one meal is donated to a homeless or at-risk youth through community partner Dans la rue." - Valerie Silva
"I describe the Share Food Program as a long-running organization that provides free, healthy food through a network of dozens of pickup sites and home delivery for those who need it, and that Share always can use volunteers." - Sarah Maiellano
"I learned the city is partnering with the Share Food Program to distribute free five-day food boxes at 20 pickup sites on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon (with more locations to be added), that it's limited to one box per household and requires no ID or proof of income, and that donations to Share are accepted to support the effort." - Rachel Vigoda
