As we enter the holiday season, we are reminded of the importance of caring for our community members who are most in need. The Koret Food Program is one of the Foundation’s longest-standing initiatives. Since 1981, we have provided more than $11 million in grants to 24 Bay Area nonprofits that offer food, support, and basic necessities to the most vulnerable in our community. Read more.

The Koret Food Program continues to evolve in-step with our grantees as they adapt to a changing Bay Area. In the fall of 2019, we awarded $1.94 million in new grants to the following organizations:

Alameda County Community Food Bank
Glide Foundation
Jewish Family and Children’s Services
Meal on Wheels of San Francisco
San Francisco-Marin Food Bank
Second Harvest of Silicon Valley
St. Anthony’s

In these times of unprecedented new challenges, our grantees are responding to ever-changing issues each and every day. In this story, we highlight the creative thinking of several Bay Area organizations, covering the spectrum of needs, from providing safety-net services for vulnerable members of our community, to developing technology to engage students remotely, to finding ways to counteract acute social isolation. Their creative innovations are cause for optimism as we seek to forge new paths of community engagement and connection moving forward. Read more.
