Thanksgiving & Christmas Day Meals
This will be our 5th year providing a full, sit down meal to over 350 of our fellow San Franciscans in need.
In this economic downtown we are hearing more and more from people who are unexpectedly finding themselves unable to afford food for their families. We are accepting all donations and your generous help will make it possible for us to fill people’s lives. All donations are tax deductible. We also accept donations of food (canned or cooked), clothes, toys and wrapping paper. Donate now!

Fill up America started in 2001 with a simple concept: we live in a world of plenty and want to spread the surplus to those who need it. We pride ourselves on being an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, and every cent donated goes directly to feeding our community. We at Fill Up America are dedicated to connecting need with surplus. Our plan is simple. We talk with those in need: sanctuaries, food kitchens, women's & men's shelters, children's homes and find out what would make their lives richer. Next we contact manufacturers and distributors and ask what they can donate or even what they plan to throw away. Then we connect the dots. Fill Up America is a 501(c)3 organization, number 91-2158747. |
