A middle school in San Francisco just opened a free grocery store to help feed students and their families outside of school, too
A new, free grocery store just opened up at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Middle School in San Francisco. A collaboration between Amazon, food startup Goodr, and the YMCA of Greater San Francisco, the store will operate weekly and serve about 75 families.
The grocery store will provide fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy products, and other goods.
While the school district already has in-school meal programs for students, this store offers a new opportunity to help students and their families outside of school, too. Additionally, food insecurity can lead to truancy issues.
Why is this good news? While providing nutritious foods that can help improve educational outcomes for students, the grocery store is also something that can strengthen the relationship and build trust between families and the school.

There were 31,062 homicides in 2023, a 6.7% decline from 2022 and the third consecutive year that murders had declined since peaking in 2020 with 36,773.
While those numbers are still incredibly and devastatingly high, with most of it the result of gun violence, it’s very good progress to celebrate, especially considering that the numbers sharply increased after a militarized “war” on drug cartels was launched in 2006 by the then-president.
While the current government is still the most violent in history, it’s making notable progress, and working to address the root causes of violence instead of using force.
Even the country’s most violent state saw a significant decline last year — with 3,746 homicides in 2023, a 13.5% decline from 2022.

I’m really grateful to have a workplace that sets such great boundaries for us, but I could have benefited from some regulations at past jobs!
