San Jose | Oakland | San Francisco | Multiple Locations | One Time Pop-Ups
Note from Vida:
In the Bay Area this specific initiative was spearheaded by Tony & Alba’s. I am just an organizer who likes to make information accessible, and I will add to this list as I see any other offerings come in. I am open to fielding any offerings for ALL of California, this list is just the Bay Area so far.
If any grocery stores or restaurants want to add an offering to this tracker, fill out this form:
https://forms.gle/GUR4Dk4T4LWcAs8JA
If your restaurant is listed and you’d like to share your Venmo / Zelle / CashApp for folks to donate (many do), add it on the form above as well.
If you are in a different city / state and want to copy this formatting for any community offerings, please do. Happy to share the original doc and original form as templates. Email provided below.
