Dining Room

Hot Meals and Human Connection

In San Francisco, one in five adults lacks the resources to provide food for themselves or their families. In the Tenderloin district, that number is as high as one in two. We help address food insecurity by serving over 1,000 guests each day. We take pride in the quality of our meals, ensuring that they are not only nutritious, but delicious too!

The Dining Room also hosts a weekly “Farmers Market.” This food distribution program provides groceries to hundreds of low-income Tenderloin residents and seniors.

Our Dining Room has always served more than a meal, functioning as a vital cultural space, where everyone is invited to come together in community. Our team provides valuable bridges to stability for our guests by connecting them to other services at St. Anthony’s and beyond. We also offer meaningful community-building activities after hours.

Wanting to donate food?

Our Dining Room is no longer able to accept direct food donations.

The volume of food regularly scheduled from our suppliers, who supply us at below retail prices, means that our limited storage is not able to accommodate donated food. We are grateful for all past food donations.

If you wish to support our food program, please make a donation here and indicate in the comments that you wish to direct your contribution to the Dining Room. Thank you!
