What better way to support Farming Hope and Refettorio San Francisco than through exceptional culinary experiences?

By bidding and purchasing items in our auction, your support goes directly to our food recovery, community food security, and culinary job training programs.

Farming Hope is a food justice nonprofit with the vision to build inclusive communities where everyone belongs. We offer a 12-week, paid training in our kitchen for folks facing major barriers to employment, most often homelessness or former incarceration. Alongside our kitchen team, these Apprentices transform imperfect produce into meals for food insecure community members, feeding it forward in a beautiful, dignified way.

In 2024, Farming Hope has trained 40 Apprentices, cooked over 125,000 meals, given away over 215,000 pounds of groceries, and rescued over 28,000 of produce that would otherwise go to waste. Join us in our effort to empower our community and transform our food system.

We work with many partners to achieve our work. Special thank you to our Refettorio partner, Food for Soul! Food for Soul is a project of Lara Gilmore and Massimo Bottura. Learn more: https://www.foodforsoul.it/
