Panda Express Food Farmacy

On August 14th, in observance of Panda Cares Day, employees from Panda Express volunteered their time at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland for our bi-weekly Food Farmacy. Together, we assembled roughly 320 bags of groceries that were distributed to over 100 families.

Many families that come to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland for care rely on inexpensive, processed foods because healthy foods are inaccessible in their communities. Our Food Farmacy program combats this through its partnership with the Alameda County Community Food Bank, providing whole grains, fruits, vegetables, eggs and protein to our families and patients – all free of charge.

Thank you, Panda Express—your longtime support ensures UCSF kids and families receive not only exceptional care, but also the nourishment and support they need to thrive!
