About HAIGHT ASHBURY FOOD PROGRAM

Haight Ashbury Food Program (HAFP) is a neighborhood-based, donor-facing nonprofit in San Francisco that operates a weekly pantry and redistribution program serving economically disadvantaged and unhoused residents. ([thefoodprogram.org](https://www.thefoodprogram.org/donate/))

Founded in the early 1980s and tax-exempt since the mid-1980s, HAFP runs a farmers’-market style distribution so clients can select foods that meet their needs and partners with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank and local grocers to rescue and redistribute surplus food; the program reports serving the equivalent of more than 75,000 meals per year.
