Great Plates Delivered Meal Program

At the state’s direction, the Great Plates Meals Program will end in July 2021. This temporary emergency response program has delivered over 2.7 million meals to eligible older adults during COVID. 

For program participants who still need food assistance, view meals and grocery programs offered by SFHSA and our partner organizations. 

What to expect

San Francisco’s program will end in four phases to allow enough time and support for participants to transition to other food programs offered by SFHSA partner organizations.If you are a program recipient, your last Great Plates meal delivery date will be determined by your zip code. You will continue to receive Great Plates meals until your designated end date.
