SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Last week a dedicated crew from Zephyr Real Estate reported for duty at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. They, along with two other like-minded groups, broke down approximately 3600 pounds of bulk rice into one-pound packages for distribution to those in need throughout our community.
The teams completed their task at the Food Bank’s warehouse, filling up 18-wheel trailers with ready-to-deliver individual food packages. Zipping around the warehouse among the trailers, the fleet of forklifts and the mountains of perishable and non-perishable food donations was an inspiring undertaking, and we applaud those hardy volunteers. Together they donated 72 hours to accomplish this feat.
This is the second work shift provided by Zephyr agents, coordinated by agent Teri Cavanaugh from Zephyr’s Upper Market office. “It is hard not to be inspired by the reach (and need) of the Food Bank,” commented agent Jim Beitzel. “Plans are already underway for the next shift.”
Over 107,000 meals are provided daily, and 30,000 families will receive wholesome foods at the Bank’s pantries weekly. 10,000 children will be served healthy snacks in the classroom each school day, and 450 community partners will receive supplies for their meal and food programs. Together over 25,000 volunteers make this program work by getting the most value from each donation and distributing the food where it is needed most.
Opportunities for donating and volunteering are available at the Food Bank’s website, http://www.sfmfoodbank.org/ways-to-give.
“Zephyr has a long reputation for participating and giving back to our community, and this group clearly exemplifies that,” stated Randall Kostick, President of Zephyr Real Estate. “I’m proud to be associated with all our community-minded agents.”
