A volunteer-run food cooperative in San Francisco 's Mission District , which has been a lifeline for so many families, is now in desperate need of support to continue its vital work in the community.Maria Tec'poot and her mother, Ofelia, vividly remember the day they first turned to the Mission Food Hub in 2020. Like many families in San Francisco 's Mission District , they had lost their jobs due to the pandemic and were struggling to make ends meet.
Roberto Hernandez, the founder of the Mission Food Hub, described a dire situation. 'It's empty. Look at all of this. It's empty,' said Hernandez as he gestured to vacant shelves. 'This place used to be full of donations of food, vegetables, fruits.'The Hub can now barely offer food on Fridays. The number of families served has dropped from 9,000 to just 2,000, and even those numbers are at risk.
