Project Open Hand

Project Open Hand We provide nutritious 'meals with love' to our sick and vulnerable neighbors in the Bay Area. Every day we rely on 125 volunteers to deliver our mission.

Good nutrition enables our clients to better manage the symptoms of disease, mitigate the side effects of treatment, and can speed recovery. Our registered dietitian supports and counsels our clients to help them feel better by eating right. In addition to providing life-sustaining food to our clients, Project Open Hand nourishes our entire community by engaging thousands of volunteers and donors, as well as dozens of local companies, in the important work of feeding neighbors in need.
