October – November 2016
The Mechanics’ Institute is partnering with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank by sponsoring a food drive throughout October and November. Did you know that 25% of San Francisco and Marin residents struggle to make ends meet with low incomes, facing choices over whether to use limited incomes to pay rent, obtain needed medications, pay gas and electricity, or to eat adequate meals? Every dollar donated to the SF-Marin Food Bank allows the organization to distribute enough food for three meals for a resident in need of food assistance.
Mechanics’ Institute will be accepting food donations on behalf of the SF-Marin Food Bank to fill a barrel in our lobby. Most needed items include peanut butter, low-sugar cereal, whole grain rice, pasta and oats, low-sodium soups & stews, tuna & canned meats, canned fruits & vegetables. No glass or perishables, please!
Cash donations can be made via our Team Page at: https://fooddrives.sfmfoodbank.org/team/mechanics-institute
Donations are tax-deductible and support one of our community’s most essential needs. Mechanics’ Institute aims to provide at least 100 pounds of food and $1000 to the SF-Marin Food Bank over the next two months — let’s join together to exceed this goal! Thank you for your generous participation!
