Hi, I’m Gabriel, and I’ve been hearing from people I care about who’ve recently lost their SNAP or Meals on Wheels benefits.

It’s heartbreaking to see how quickly that can impact a person’s ability to keep food on the table or meet basic needs. So I decided to do something small but meaningful — to start a personal project called Feed a Family a Week.

I’m beginning with $100 of my own money to buy groceries for one Bay Area family in need. Even if no one donates, a family will eat this week. But with your help, we can reach more families together.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward:

Food and groceries for local families

Essentials like toiletries and household basics

Growth costs to expand this project so it can help more people long-term

My goal is to grow this into something lasting that supports families across the Bay Area.

If you’ve ever wanted to do something real and immediate to help others, this is it.

Together, we can make sure families don’t go without the basics. ❤️
