"It's been a precarious fall season for those who rely on social programs to put food on the table. During the government shutdown, millions of Americans lost access to SNAP benefits (formerly called food stamps). Many states tapped into emergency funds to keep the programs intact. In the case of San Francisco, Mayor Lurie devised a public-private partnership that kept CalFresh, the state's implementation of SNAP, afloat."
"GLIDE Glide Memorial Church will host its annual Thanksgiving meal at 330 Ellis St., beginning at 11:00 a.m. Among the biggest Thanksgiving meal providers in The City, Glide plans to serve almost 2,500 meals of ham, turkey, and sides. St. Anthony's Another of San Francisco's biggest annual Thanksgiving meal providers, the St. Anthony Foundation will serve over 2,400 meals this year out of its Dining Room at 121 Golden Gate Ave. This year marks the foundation's 75th anniversary."
