2017 Food from the Bar exceeds goal!
Jun 28, 2017
By Mee Mee Wong
Thank you to everyone who attended the May 30 Throckmorton Comedy Café in support of the 2017 Food from the Bar and signed up to “Bag with Phil” in the fall. We appreciate your generous donations to the campaign.
Food from the Bar met their Marin Challenge Match and was able to receive a $10,000 match from the Marin Community Foundation.
The campaign from San Francisco and Marin collectively raised $726,655 this year – making this the most successful campaign to date! Added to the 8,495 pounds of food collected, this is equivalent to more than 2.18 million meals for needy seniors, families and individuals in both communities. We are grateful for your continued support.
Special recognition goes to Phillip Feldman and MCBA Board member Patricia Conway for leading MCBA on this project.
