This fund is for Black Queer and Trans people living in San Francisco City/County, San Mateo County, and Alameda County who are experiencing or are at risk of food insecurity.

Our goal is to provide Black Queer and Trans people with contactless grocery delivery to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission. We want to provide a safe experience for our community and develop accessibility for folks who do not have privileges such as time or transportation to access groceries.

This initiative was created by Black Queer folks in San Francisco who have personally suffered the effects of COVID-19 and have experienced food insecurity. We were able to come out ahead of our struggles through mutual aid and wanted to continue the cycle of uplifting our community.

We bring together Black, Latino, Chinese and Filipino communities and leaders from across the city to create a community-based political infrastructure capable of running sophisticated electoral operations each election cycle, and winning.
