Partner with 211
211 serves as the primary client contact number for several Bay Area nonprofits. As a result, nonprofits can focus on service delivery instead of fielding phone calls. For example, the San Francisco Food Bank directs all people seeking food to 211, where after a thorough intake and assessment, clients are directed to a food distribution site that best meets their needs and location. To explore a partnership with 211, call 415-808-4430.
