Food Pantry
|
The Treasure Island Food Pantry is part of the San Francisco Food Bank’s Neighborhood Food Pantry Program. Each week over 80 Treasure Island households receive supplemental groceries that are distributed through TIHDI Weekly Food Pantry. The Food Bank provides both staples and fresh produce. There are additional groceries provided by the USDA program weekly. This allows low income residents to stretch their monthly food budget by receiving free nutritious food and supports hundreds of children and their families over the course of a year. |

On May 17, 2016 we provided the very first fresh batch of organic lettuce grown in a greenhouse next to our Ship Shape building. This greenhouse is manage by |I|S|A|B|E|L| who is commited to deploying the most cost effective & resource efficient greenhouse systems around the planet. They are creating a network of intelligent indoor farms that grow clean, local produce with 90% less water, twice as fast and all with 1/3 the carbon footprint.
Treasure Island residents were able to take home fresh produce harvested from the green house.
