Group De La Comida is a non-profit organization that distributes fresh produce and other staples to low-income people, many of them recent immigrants, throughout San Francisco. My boyfriend and I have volunteered for the organization for several years, and our friend and founder of Grupo is an amazing womn who works tirelessly for the community. It’s an honor to photograph some of the participants, and the process of distributing food.

I love what Grupo De La Comida does for the people in my neighborhood. The other cool thing about Grupo is that they take donations of fresh fruits and vegetables from the San Francisco wholesale produce market to distribute. A good portion of the donations would just be thrown away (although they’re nearly perfect) so Grupo is not only serving a need, they’re also diverting waste from landfills.

I’m proud to be help their organization, and photograph many of their events and food distributions.
