Emergency Appeal: Your Bay Area Community Needs Your Help
Seniors are choosing between food and medicine.
Parents are cutting back to feed their kids.
Working people are worried if they’ll be able to put food on the table after paying the rent.
- 29% more people are reaching out to food banks this year compared to last year in San Francisco
- 1 in 3 households in San Francisco don’t earn enough to meet their basic needs
- 1 in 5 people in California are food-insecure
- 26% of people report cutting back on meal size or skipping meals because they don’t have enough money for food

The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (also known as CalFresh or food stamps) has been cut by $186 billion, but Moms Against Poverty is on the frontlines of responding to this hunger crisis through our Hunger Relief Program, mobilizing food distributions across low-income communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Southern California. Our team provides culturally appropriate groceries, fresh produce, and essential supplies to over 4,000 families—and that number is growing by the day as the need grows.
Your support today will ensure that no Bay Area child goes to bed hungry.
- A gift of $50 provides a week of nutritious groceries for a family of four.
- $250 keeps one of our local school pantries stocked for a full day of emergency service.
- $1,000 provides food for 40+ families at one of our community food distribution events.
Please, give what you can today to help us meet this urgent need. Together, we can ensure that every family in our community has access to the food and dignity they deserve—even in the face of crisis.

Moms Against Poverty is a nonprofit dedicated to lifting children out of poverty by providing them with access to education, nutrition, and health. Founded in 2008 by immigrant mothers from the Middle East, we’ve well understood the struggles of immigrant and low-income populations and how these challenges are compounded in the expensive region that is the Bay Area. We have impacted the lives of over one million children in the U.S. and globally. Our programs serve thousands annually, with more than 8,000 children benefiting from our U.S.-based education and nutrition programs each year. Our work has helped us win the Jefferson Award for Public Service, a Candid/GuideStar Platinum designation, and a GreatNonprofits Top Rated Nonprofit award. Moms Against Poverty is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your donation is tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law.
