We are six weeks in two shelter at home and stay in place orders, i know with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, a lot of companies and Tech Companies and long standing companies raised their hands and said we will help with people and money and supplies. A lot of Tech Companies have closed and most outstanding one is lift lyft, they are willing to pay the cooks to make food for us to take to the hungry. So far we havent missed that. When you talk about taking the food to people who are hungry, the whole Delivery System has changed, hasnt it . Yes, what we have is about 400 volunteers, a truck and to advance and weve been picking up food at the Tech Companies and all around San Francisco and at stores. Currently the Tech Companies are closed and restaurants are closed and the bakeries are closed. Now we are only picking up at the Grocery Stores and the wholesale markets. How are you deciding who gets the food and how is that person who is hungry reaching out to you . The story is that what we are doing as we have a kitchen on walnut street and donated kitchen we are taking donated food up there and then a young man called todd is organizing 20 volunteers and 2 professional cooks to make individual meals. We are taking those meals to places like martin the pores and north beach citizens that used to have people come in and eat but now they have to hand it out on the sidewalk.

The biggest challenge is, our biggest challenge is please dont throw any edible food away , donated to food runners. Every business we will pick up the food and take it to the kitchen on walnut street and then we also have more volunteers than we can use, thats really interesting. On the food runner app, when something appears like theres a donation this morning from epicurean trader, it disappears right away because of volunteer takes it and the app tells them where to take the food. What is the biggest challenge, that is keeping all the 400 volunteers to keep them busy. It is an incredible challenge do have.
