At St. Anthony’s dining room in San Francisco, chef Pepe Sanchez says they’re serving 100 guests every 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks that are coming to our pantries and are using our services have a lot of challenges,” said Ash. “And we’re hoping that having a good holiday meal, being with the people they care about, gives them a chance to reflect and gain strength and move forward and make their lives better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue this time of year is twofold: School’s out and there are more demands on limited funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/110356/where-homeless-people-can-get-free-meals-in-the-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Where Homeless People Can Get Free Meals in the Bay Area\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We do see a spike in our call volume [on the emergency food help line],” said Mike Altfest, director of community engagement at the Alameda County Community Food Bank. That’s because families have to make up the two meals their kids would have gotten in school. And bills also start to add up in the winter holiday months—heat, gas, rent. “Healthy food becomes the one thing that gets sacrificed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Community Food Bank is an emergency response organization, so it has enough food on hand for about 2.5 million meals. But, like most nonprofits and food banks, it relies heavily on donations this time of year for a large portion of the annual budget. And that might be tougher this year, just because of so many deserving causes competing with each other. Ash, with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, said they’re preparing for a dip in donations as people instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705542/how-to-help-camp-fire-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give to victims of the Camp Fire in Butte County \u003c/a>— something they also saw last year after the deadly North Bay wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers are also particularly needed in the new year, from January to March, in order to process all the donations that come in over the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking to donate, money makes the biggest impact, said Altfest, because food banks can buy more efficiently and directly, making the dollars go further. If you’re donating food, they’re specifically in need of: high-quality proteins, such as peanut butter or canned meats; low-sodium and low-sugar canned fruits and vegetables; and “culturally appropriate foods,” he said, to serve the diverse local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some organizations that will be feeding the hungry over the holidays, and could use volunteers or donations. However, a number of popular volunteer spots fill well in advance of Thanksgiving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11707668\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11707668\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-800x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-800x513.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-160x103.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-1020x655.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut-1200x770.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33999_111918_AW_SoupKitchen_13-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A food pantry with staples such as tuna, bread and canned beans available to guests at St. Anthony’s.

That’s because families have to make up the two meals their kids would have gotten in school. And bills also start to add up in the winter holiday months—heat, gas, rent. “Healthy food becomes the one thing that gets sacrificed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Community Food Bank is an emergency response organization, so it has enough food on hand for about 2.5 million meals. But, like most nonprofits and food banks, it relies heavily on donations this time of year for a large portion of the annual budget. And that might be tougher this year, just because of so many deserving causes competing with each other. Ash, with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, said they’re preparing for a dip in donations as people instead \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705542/how-to-help-camp-fire-victims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">give to victims of the Camp Fire in Butte County \u003c/a>— something they also saw last year after the deadly North Bay wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers are also particularly needed in the new year, from January to March, in order to process all the donations that come in over the holidays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re looking to donate, money makes the biggest impact, said Altfest, because food banks can buy more efficiently and directly, making the dollars go further. If you’re donating food, they’re specifically in need of: high-quality proteins, such as peanut butter or canned meats; low-sodium and low-sugar canned fruits and vegetables; and “culturally appropriate foods,” he said, to serve the diverse local community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some organizations that will be feeding the hungry over the holidays, and could use volunteers or donations.
