While many storefronts now stand quiet and vacant, Eterna Primavera Bakery on 24th and Alabama streets is an exception to the desolation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Every Sunday since early March, the Guatemalan bakery transforms into a packing and distribution site for the Mission Meals Coalition (MMC), a new mutual aid collective that provides groceries and hot meals for folks across the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The coalition is made up of several community partnerships with local businesses and organizations—each of which fundraise and advocate for a range of underserved groups, from the houseless to the undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">MMC is founded and run by womxn of color—Gaby Alemán, her sisters, Xiomara and Cynthia, and their mother, Gabriela Ramírez. The coalition was formed in response to the systemic disparities in food security that the coronavirus pandemic has further exacerbated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The sisters credit the initial steps in MMC’s conception to their mother. Ramírez, a local event vendor, owns a chair and table rental business called Mom Chairs on 20th and Mission streets. While shelter-in-place orders meant a huge blow to her business, she started a list of people within her personal network who she knew would be impacted just as harshly by the economic effects of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_139562\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-139562\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in front of El Faro\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/10/yolandaone-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MCC\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Many of Ramírez’s friends and colleagues are neighborhood street vendors, a sector of the informal economy that is especially vulnerable during the pandemic due to their exposed work environment, their immigration status and the lack of protective benefits. Seeing this, Ramirez knew the pandemic was bound to impact her colleagues’ access to food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Ramírez and her daughters purchased 100 tamales from Eterna Primavera Bakery to provide for the folks she had identified. Thus, MMC was born. Since then, the list of MMC’s recipients has expanded to migrant day laborers, asylum seekers, the edlerly and the unemployed in order to address the number of institutional gaps these communities often fall into.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Nonprofit organizations geared toward addressing resource accessibility sometimes impose strict eligibility criteria on their services. Depending on the organization, a person’s zip code, immigration and employment status could all have an effect on whether or not they stand a chance at receiving the help they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">“A lot of nonprofits have limitations on their funding with regard to who can be served, especially if they’re funded by the local or federal government,” said Alemán, who currently works as the Community Engagement manager at the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center. “A lot of our beloved street vendors are MMC recipients and we have some who, even though their community is here in San Francisco, may actually live in places like Oakland, Richmond, or Antioch.

As San Francisco’s first and only Deaf-owned-and-operated restaurant, it was really two places simultaneously: A cozy eatery, appreciated by locals for its calm vibe, lack of booming music and crusty, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and a Deaf-centric space that was a welcoming home for the all-Deaf staff and diners from around the world.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the narrow space’s two-tops were often filled with hearing couples, the back of the room held the only space large enough to accommodate a big group. Celebrating a birthday, graduation or job well done with a bunch of Deaf friends was the perfect excuse for a festive night out at Mozzeria. But no excuse was needed. After a week of feeling isolated as the only Deaf person in a hearing workplace, Mozzeria was just the place to unwind and probably bump into Deaf friends or friends of friends and relax, chatting the night away.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"bayareabites_35858","label":"\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">label=\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"Past Articles about Mozzeria.\""},"numeric":["\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan","style=\"font-weight:","400\">label=\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan","style=\"font-weight:","400\">\"Past","Articles","about","Mozzeria.\""]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That rare instance of 100% communication access was a big draw for Deaf diners.
