Heart of the City Farmers’ Market worked with FarmacyCSA to deliver produce boxes in June, July, and August to 1,500 San Francisco families to address rising food insecurity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Produce was purchased from our farmers with funding from the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program and San Francisco Public Health Foundation, then delivered to families in partnership with Care.org, Door Dash, and A Better Course.
Produce was sourced and assembled by Farmacy CSA, a project by Katie Jones and her family who own Miramonte Farms and have sold at Heart of the City for more than 20 years. Katie’s team is now gearing up to assemble boxes to deliver to over 1,000 seniors funded by the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program in partnership with the California Association of Food Banks. Visit farmacycsa.org to learn more or buy a box for pick up at the market.
We are grateful for the hard work of this partnership team to address the food access challenges faced by our most vulnerable neighbors.
