“The San Francisco Food Bank cares about the environment and the health of the community we serve. This hybrid truck, and future clean air trucks we aim to incorporate into our fleet, will save us money we can use instead to feed hungry people in San Francisco and Marin.

Thanks to the support of the Trustees’ Philanthropy Fund of the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund who provided the $100,000 lead gift, the San Francisco Food Bank was able to procure their first hybrid truck. The purchase of this truck was also made possible through a $30,000 voucher from the California Air Resources Board’s Hybrid Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP).
