A Taste of Hope was more than an afternoon of great food, inspiring stories, and live music. It was a chance to bring together the people who make ExtraFood's work possible — and to celebrate what we can accomplish when a community comes together around a shared purpose.

From longtime supporters and dedicated volunteers to community partners and new friends, our guests helped make the afternoon a meaningful celebration of generosity, connection, and hope.

A Community That Makes a Difference

Every day, ExtraFood works to recover surplus food and get it to people who need it throughout the Bay Area. That work depends on a community of people who believe that good food should feed people, not go to waste.

A Taste of Hope brought that community together in one place. The conversations, laughter, and connections throughout the afternoon were a reminder that our mission is about more than food recovery. It's about caring for our neighbors, strengthening our communities, and creating a more sustainable future.

Thank You for Being Part of It

To everyone who joined us, supported the event, volunteered their time, and helped spread the word: thank you. Your support makes it possible for ExtraFood to continue recovering nutritious food, supporting our nonprofit partners, and helping feed people across the Bay Area.

We're grateful to share this work with such a thoughtful and generous community. A Taste of Hope was a celebration of what happens when people come together — and a reminder of all we can accomplish when we work toward a common goal.
