Hello Family and friends,
January was my first month officially operating Feed the People SF and it has been a lot of rewarding work. I learned how to make a lot of my favorite meals at a scale that I never have before. Some meals definitely lend themselves to being scaled much better than others.
I now have a push cart that can also be hooked up to my bike which has made shopping for ingredients as well as distribution much easier and quicker. With the extra room I am also bringing bottles of water, clean socks, masks, and donated clothes and blankets. If you live in SF and have clothes/blankets that you’d like to donate please contact me regarding this. People always need fresh clothes when living outside, most especially clean socks.
I have had much more success raising funds from my family and friends and their communities than through social media. That being said, any shout outs on social media still manage to reach potential donors.
Providing food and support to my neighbors has benefited myself as much as them. It is easy to feel ineffectual and depressed when stuck inside like we have been this past year.
I have also gotten to know dozens of my unhoused neighbors quite well this month and am being recognized on the street by the community. You can learn about some of my conversations below.
Your support in reaching your community will be invaluable. I have created a GIF to help with fundraising (see the social media section below).
I am very much looking forward to exceeding my target of 1,000 meals served in the month of February. Thank you for your continued support. As time goes on, with more practice and more funding, there is no telling just how many people I can feed!
Solidarity Forever,
André
