The Food Security Task Force (FSTF) was established in 2005 by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and charged with the responsibility of creating a city-wide plan for addressing food security. The group tracks vital data regarding hunger and food security in San Francisco, including the utilization and demand for federal food programs, community based organizations' meal programs and programs targeting particular populations. The FSTF educates the public about the role of food security in public health and community development, and advocates for policies and programs that improve food security. Current members of the FSTF include community based organizations and government agencies addressing hunger in San Francisco.
2013-2014 Interfaith Winter Shelter
Recognition Observance
Congregation Host Sites and Meal Providers
Episcopal Community Services
San Francisco Human Services Agency
San Francisco Night Ministry
In 1988, the City of San Francisco pleaded for more involvement from religious organizations to help with the growing problem of homelessness. The faith community responded and in doing so created the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC). For a quarter of a century the SFIC has hosted the SF Interfaith Winter Shelter. Our partners in this signature program are Episcopal Community Services, the San Francisco Human Services Agency, San Francisco Night Ministry, four congregation host sites and over 30 congregations providing meals. This collaborative effort has worked to augment existing shelter opportunities during the coldest months of the year (November through February). The SF Interfaith Winter Shelter provides dinner, breakfast, and a safe, warm overnight rest for up to 110 homeless men each night. The shelter has become a leading example of interfaith cooperation within the United States and has intentionally encouraged and challenged our growing network of local congregations to open their spaces and their hearts.
