Drive Through Pantry
The Francisco-Marin Food Bank has been on a three-plus-decades long mission to feed the masses, with the city's first-ever drive-through, contact-free food pantry.
The food bank's drive-through model was greenlit by the Port Commission just days before its initial run. Yesterday, 60 volunteers helped streamline the novel, socially distant endeavor as cars cued up in nine lanes to wait for boxes of food — 25 lbs heavy, filled with nonperishables, like canned lentils and peanut butter, and fresh produce — to be placed in their trunks.
