Basically, these organizations know how to make your cash go a long way when it comes to buying food — and almost certainly further than you'd be able to if you buy it yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might also be able to designate your dollars for a specific purpose. St. Anthony Foundation, for example, has taken its annual Holiday Curbside donation drive online — meaning you can \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/virtual-curbside/\">make a donation via their website\u003c/a> and use those dollars to \"shop\" for food and clothing for those who use St. Anthony's services. You can also, of course, \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/donate/\">donate straight-up cash\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your money will also help organizations like GLIDE continue to keep the people who use their services safe from COVID-19, Mark said, as well as support an organization's staff. Put simply, endlessly adapting to a pandemic is an expensive task for a nonprofit: from purchasing new packaging and flatware to be able to serve meals to-go rather than in a dining hall, to acquiring rain wear for staff to be able to serve clients outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, some organizations \u003cem>are\u003c/em> still accepting drop-off food donations, like the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Consult their list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/fundraise-faq/\">most-needed foods\u003c/a> first (think tuna, peanut butter and chili.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be Flexible and Patient\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Mark advises that getting in touch with the organization of your choice to let them know you're even \u003cem>available\u003c/em> to volunteer is a great way to get on their radar, especially at a time when some places — including GLIDE — are relying on a core of regular, known volunteers rather than a cycle of new ones during the pandemic. A dining hall or food bank might not be able to take advantage of your holiday availability straight away, but will be glad to do so in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark also stresses the gratitude organizations like GLIDE feel toward people who wish they could volunteer, but don't feel safe or able to do so in person during the pandemic. So if your heart is telling you to volunteer but your head knows that your personal circumstances or health don't make that possible, these places will look forwarding to welcoming you in 2021.

Basically, these organizations know how to make your cash go a long way when it comes to buying food — and almost certainly further than you'd be able to if you buy it yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might also be able to designate your dollars for a specific purpose. St. Anthony Foundation, for example, has taken its annual Holiday Curbside donation drive online — meaning you can \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/virtual-curbside/\">make a donation via their website\u003c/a> and use those dollars to \"shop\" for food and clothing for those who use St. Anthony's services. You can also, of course, \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanthonysf.org/donate/\">donate straight-up cash\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your money will also help organizations like GLIDE continue to keep the people who use their services safe from COVID-19, Mark said, as well as support an organization's staff. Put simply, endlessly adapting to a pandemic is an expensive task for a nonprofit: from purchasing new packaging and flatware to be able to serve meals to-go rather than in a dining hall, to acquiring rain wear for staff to be able to serve clients outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, some organizations \u003cem>are\u003c/em> still accepting drop-off food donations, like the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. Consult their list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/fundraise-faq/\">most-needed foods\u003c/a> first (think tuna, peanut butter and chili.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Be Flexible and Patient\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Mark advises that getting in touch with the organization of your choice to let them know you're even \u003cem>available\u003c/em> to volunteer is a great way to get on their radar, especially at a time when some places — including GLIDE — are relying on a core of regular, known volunteers rather than a cycle of new ones during the pandemic. A dining hall or food bank might not be able to take advantage of your holiday availability straight away, but will be glad to do so in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark also stresses the gratitude organizations like GLIDE feel toward people who wish they could volunteer, but don't feel safe or able to do so in person during the pandemic. So if your heart is telling you to volunteer but your head knows that your personal circumstances or health don't make that possible, these places will look forwarding to welcoming you in 2021.

That's because families have to make up the two meals their kids would have gotten in school. And bills also start to add up in the winter holiday months—heat, gas, rent. \"Healthy food becomes the one thing that gets sacrificed,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Community Food Bank is an emergency response organization, so it has enough food on hand for about 2.5 million meals. But, like most nonprofits and food banks, it relies heavily on donations this time of year for a large portion of the annual budget. And that might be tougher this year, just because of so many deserving causes competing with each other. Ash, with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, said they're preparing for a dip in donations as people instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705542/how-to-help-camp-fire-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give to victims of the Camp Fire in Butte County \u003c/a>— something they also saw last year after the deadly North Bay wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers are also particularly needed in the new year, from January to March, in order to process all the donations that come in over the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're looking to donate, money makes the biggest impact, said Altfest, because food banks can buy more efficiently and directly, making the dollars go further. If you're donating food, they're specifically in need of: high-quality proteins, such as peanut butter or canned meats; low-sodium and low-sugar canned fruits and vegetables; and \"culturally appropriate foods,\" he said, to serve the diverse local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some organizations that will be feeding the hungry over the holidays, and could use volunteers or donations.

That's because families have to make up the two meals their kids would have gotten in school. And bills also start to add up in the winter holiday months—heat, gas, rent. \"Healthy food becomes the one thing that gets sacrificed,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Community Food Bank is an emergency response organization, so it has enough food on hand for about 2.5 million meals. But, like most nonprofits and food banks, it relies heavily on donations this time of year for a large portion of the annual budget. And that might be tougher this year, just because of so many deserving causes competing with each other. Ash, with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, said they're preparing for a dip in donations as people instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705542/how-to-help-camp-fire-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give to victims of the Camp Fire in Butte County \u003c/a>— something they also saw last year after the deadly North Bay wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers are also particularly needed in the new year, from January to March, in order to process all the donations that come in over the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're looking to donate, money makes the biggest impact, said Altfest, because food banks can buy more efficiently and directly, making the dollars go further. If you're donating food, they're specifically in need of: high-quality proteins, such as peanut butter or canned meats; low-sodium and low-sugar canned fruits and vegetables; and \"culturally appropriate foods,\" he said, to serve the diverse local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some organizations that will be feeding the hungry over the holidays, and could use volunteers or donations.
