"Former San Francisco 49ers and San Jose State quarterback Jeff Garcia returned to his former downtown San Jose stomping grounds Thursday night for an NFL alumni event benefitting two Bay Area nonprofits fighting food insecurity - San Jose's Hunger at Home and San Francisco-based The City Eats."
"Garcia - still looking trim and muscled at age 55 - posed for photos and chatted with fans at at Sushi Confidential in San Pedro Square, which brought out tray after tray of dishes including sushi, sashimi, steak bites and vegetable tempura. The drink menu was appropriately football-themed with the blue-tinged 12th Man Margarita, a Patriot Dynasty (made with Canadian whiskey, ironically) and a 49er Mule."
"Santa Clara County Assistant District Attorney James Gibbon-Shapiro was there - not in his official capacity but as the new board chair of Hunger at Home, which provides food recovery services for large venues, including Levi's Stadium, and works with partner organizations to distribute food every week to people who need it. Gibbons-Shapiro said any funds raised at the event would be welcome, but he also viewed it as an opportunity to introduce more people to Hunger at Home's mission, which you can also find out about at www.hungerathome.org."
