Always such a great place for food. I'd probably weigh only 100 pounds if it weren't for the food from Project Open Hand.

Grateful for the food but not the happy marraige of gov't + church. Ruth Brinker never intended for homeless who are in the job market + looking for a weekly supply + who can't turn out at daily meals, to register, show MAIL for proof of residence and then enter into a database which will BAR you if you go to any other church but one.This situation even forces you to out your homelessness to your new boss. How do you work a shift when you have to go to a soup kitchen during it? A people would never do this to each other. Thats State + City corroboration. You're not taking people off the streets, you're keeping them there.
Terrible. Experience. I am a long term client and for. Sometime was satisfied until Terri Became the wellness manager. Under her incompetent leadership an error was made where I was denied service in error.I a result I had to buy food out of my limit income and became homeless on the streets with a life-threatening illness. On the street that by threatening a list which was under control spun out of control and my life expectancy is now questionable. The staff transferred me and referred me to the wellness manager Terry I gave her a brief description of what happened on the phone and she never called me back she didn't care I can't believe such was placed in a leadership position in an organization is supposed to help the underserved and she doesn't even care take care when her agency misses the mission I
In the 80's and 90's, along with other members of the Levi Strauss & Co. AIDS Action Group I volunteered to deliver meals to clients of Open Hand. It was an extraordinary experience to help out at an organization like Open Hand that did so much, delivering hot meals to clients EVERY day of the year. Now I get to support Open Hand as a contributor and am grateful for the opportunity. The care and nutrition Open Hand brings to it's clients every day is truly amazing and remarkable. Even through the '89 earthquake they never missed a day of deliveries.
Great food and courteous, attentive staff. A blessing!
Project open hand offers amazing resources to the tenderloin community with kitchen and community outreach various resources often change so check with project open hand as to which resources and programs they are currently launching and have availability for destiny done either through their website give them a call or contacting San Francisco 311. Also of important note is a water bottle water fountain installation which are popping up all over the city as a response from the pandemic and mayor London breed installing portable and removable faucets into the hydrants it was noted that there was greater need for drinking fountains throughout the community specifically in the TL and in front of project open hand you can find the blue cylinder water fountain that is great for filling up water bottles.
I am so grateful that such a wonderful place exists for seniors, people with AIDS and women fighting breast cancer! They distribute very healthy, fresh foods suitable for any diet and delicious frozen meals. Having one here in the East Bay is a blessing and their location is in a nice area (although parking can be dicey). They make their own peanut butter which is the best I've ever tasted, too! Great place - great people.
Very nice people who are sweet and sincere and they love helping people
A very nice place where everyone is so helpful and the food is so damn good and pleasant.
If your looking for an organization to be a part of I highly recommend volunteering at Project Open Hand. The staff is so warm and generous. My group was offered a meal and dessert which was totally unnecessary considering we were there to help prep food that they give to "Our sick and elderly neighbors". This organization feeds thousands of people each year so there are so many ways you can contribute to the cause. Prepping, delivery, donating....just to name a few.
