Fighting disease starts with healthy food
Solving hunger starts at the corner store.
Healthy food prevents disease. EatSF helps make it available.
Feed people. Fight disease. Grow communities.
1 in 4 San Franciscans is hungry. The solution: EatSF
EatSF is a healthy food program, providing low-income San Franciscans vouchers for free fruits and vegetables. The program facilitates healthy eating, extends food budgets, drives the local supply of produce, and enhances the economic health of low-income communities.
“The EatSF program is a win-win. It helps low-income SF residents afford healthy produce, which improves health. It also helps address food deserts by supporting the ability of food vendors to stock healthy produce.” Dr. Tomás Aragón, Health Officer, San Francisco Department of Public Health
Many low-income communities become food deserts where access to nutritious foods is hard to find. EatSF works with neighborhood stores in these communities to increase the supply and quality of fruits and vegetables.
Residents in low-income neighborhoods have much higher hospitalization rates for conditions that can be preventable through access to good nutrition and moderate exercise. EatSF helps people buy the fresh produce they need to stay healthy, both today and in the future, reducing money spent on medical care.
Many organizations educate their clients in health and nutrition so that they can stay healthy. What has been missing is the means for people to get fresh fruits and vegetables after the class and coaching are over. EatSF fills this gap. Participants can take their vouchers to a store near their homes and get the produce they’ve been advised to eat.
Vouchers are valid ONLY for fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Pre-packaged fruits and vegetables like salad mixes are okay. Vouchers cannot be used for fruits and vegetables with added sugar or salt.
Check out the “Recipes” section and click on “Advanced search” for more search options, such as limited kitchen, very quick recipes, kid-friendly recipes, Asian recipes, and more.
I went to one of the corner stores and they wouldn’t take my voucher. What do I do? "If you have a problem using your voucher, please contact the staff at the site where you get your vouchers, or contact... the EatSF Program Coordinator using the “Connect” button at the top of this page."
