🚐 Help RACS Deliver Meals Safely
Our Home-Delivered Meals program relies on safe, reliable transportation – and we need your help to replace our aging vehicle.
🌟 Total Goal: $33,000 🌟
Our beloved RACS delivery van has served faithfully for years, but it’s now too old, unsafe, and constantly in need of repairs. To keep nutritious meals flowing to seniors and adults with disabilities in San Francisco, we need a new vehicle – plus essential food thermoses and temperature-control equipment – totaling $33,000.
Every donation keeps our community fed and cared for. Join us in ensuring our clients continue receiving hot, healthy meals safely at their doorstep. ❤️
