Save Food Security Programs

Despite the recommendation of the Department of Public Health and the current, unprecedented food crisis, the latest budget from the Mayor’s Office for 2020-2021 includes a whopping 40% cut to City's “Soda Tax Healthy Communities Grants” program. All of the Healthy Communities-funded programs are on the ground, reaching youth and underserved BIPOC populations; many of them pivoted to direct food-access services during the COVID emergency. Urban Sprouts is one of 16 programs as risk of losing funding from this cut.

We are calling on San Franciscans to let the Board of Supervisors know that we can’t afford these cuts, especially right now. Email & call your Supervisor. Look up your district here: sfplanninggis.org/sffind

If you live in one of the districts Urban Sprouts works in, we’d especially love your help! Districts 6, 9, 10 & 11
