Well Fargo To Triple-Match 'Giving Tuesday' SF Food Bank Donations
The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank serves up to 56,000 households a week.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA â A big bank is teaming up with the local food bank to add some extra oomph to âGiving Tuesday.â
Wells Fargo will triple-match donations made to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank on Tuesday, meaning that every dollar donated will provide enough food for six meals.
The Food Bank serves up to 56,000 households a week â a 12 percent increase compared to this time last year â at a time when inflation is creating additional challenges for those in need.
âWith inflation hitting our lowest-income neighbors the hardest, the community could really use a boost right now,â the Food Bank said in a statement.
âA recent survey of participants for our Hunger Report showed that 72% of our participants havenât recovered financially from the pandemic â inflation is just making matters worse.â
