Now, we are thrilled to expand this partnership to Novato, where the impact is already being felt. Their team shared what our partnership has meant to them:

The Downtown Streets Team has enjoyed a long-standing and pivotal partnership with ExtraFood for over eight years in San Rafael, and we are thrilled to now extend this vital support to our work in Novato. ExtraFood has consistently proven to be an indispensable ally in our mission to serve vulnerable individuals.
Across Marin County, ExtraFood's humanitarian approach has allowed us to reach more than 100 people weekly, providing a lifeline of nutritious food. ExtraFood’s support was particularly critical in helping our clients navigate the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring a consistent source of sustenance during a time of immense uncertainty.
Now, in Novato, we are already witnessing the same profound impact, reaching nearly 50 individuals, including those with significant needs, thanks to this expanded partnership.
ExtraFood's dedication and reliability have made a miraculous difference in the lives of those we serve, leaving a lasting and deeply appreciated impression on the Downtown Streets Team and the community we support. We wholeheartedly embrace ExtraFood as a truly exceptional and impactful partner.

We’re proud to walk alongside Downtown Streets Team in their work to empower and uplift our neighbors. Together, we’re making sure that no good food goes to waste—and no person in our community goes without.
