The initial days of the ”shelter in place” seem so long ago now… Remember what the “old normal” was like? Normal was browsing in stores at your local shopping center or eating out with friends or family in neighborhood restaurants.

Restoration Hardware in the Village Shopping Center was one of the restaurants you might have visited by now. They had been planning a Grand Opening for their new 60,000 square foot retail gallery space, equipped with its own rooftop restaurant, when the first days of the pandemic hit. The restaurant cancelled their big launch date and a frantic call was placed to ExtraFood to pick up their food. Around 1,000 pounds to be exact!! ExtraFood volunteers loaded it all up and delivered it to New Beginnings Center.

Sausalito Yacht Club was another organization we received a call from during that time - when businesses were forced to make quick decisions to shut their doors and figure out what to do with all their food. Cessa, one of ExtraFood’s staff drivers, loaded her car as the yacht club staff emptied their refrigerator. 620 pounds of primarily vegetables were recovered. Huge kudos to SYC, Commodore Tom, and Pamela, their General Manager, for knowing to call upon ExtraFood in a crisis to bring their food to people who need it - and prevent it from being wasted!

We are grateful to the other businesses who reached out to us in those early COVID-19 days to rescue and deliver their food including Mayflower Pub, Whole Health Marketing and Iron Springs Brewery and Pub.
