Disability + Aging Services Groceries + Meals

The Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) and our community partners offer free food programs to older adults, veterans, people with disabilities.

Home-delivered meals

This program delivers nutritious meals to individuals who are homebound and unable to shop for or prepare their own meals. These meals are prepared and delivered by community-based organizations in our non-profit network. 

To apply, call DAS at (415) 355-6700.

Community meals

Congregate nutrition programs provide healthy meals at community centers across the City. Note: Due to COVID, many nutrition partners may be offering meals to-go instead of, or in addition to, a communal dining option. We encourage you to call meal sites ahead of time to confirm the meal service options and schedule. 

To find a meals site, view our complete list, or call DAS at (415) 355-6700 for details.
