MOST MEALS AT MOST OF OUR HOMELESS SHELTERS HAVE IMPROVED OVER LAST YEAR . . .
We have noticed meals now being served has greatly improved at most non-profit tax funded and non-tax funded shelters.
However, to maintain good nutrition and make sure that tax payers, food donators and the hungry residents' interests are being taken care of, we MUST convince our Board of Supervisors to fully fund the Registered Dietician Position to support our newly enacted Shelter Standards of Care Laws.
The funding for the current SF Department of Public Health Registered Dietician has EXPIRED !
She was able to make some headway by running Pilot Meal Preparation and Nutrition Projects at Hamilton, MSC South and Next Door Shelters which have helped make sure that food is not being wasted and is being cooked and served properly (heated properly to safe temperatures, food stock rotation, safe food handling procedures, use of gloves, etc. basic safe food procedures that not every shelter staff member knows about...).
GOOD NUTRITION AND ADEQUATE MEALS AND PORTIONS SAVE HEALTH AND MEDICAL COSTS, REDUCES SICKNESS AND SAVES TAX DOLLARS AND DONATED RESOURCES.
HAVING THE MEALS MONITORED AT ALL SHELTERS MEANS MORE FOOD ON THE TABLE TO ENABLE OUR PEOPLE TO HAVE ENOUGH NUTRITION AND ENERGY TO THINK CLEARLY AND MOVE ON TO THEIR NEXT STEP.
GOOD NUTRITION AND MEAL KITCHEN OVERSIGHT REDUCES COSTS AND HELPS IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF OUR RESIDENTS AND REDUCES MANY FORMS OF STRESS, CONFLICT AND MENTAL ILLNESS WHICH HELPS US ALL.
SUPPORT THE CONTINUED FUNDING OF THE SHELTER STANDARD OF CARE REGISTERED DIETICIAN, TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALL KEPT HEALTHY.
CONTACT YOUR BOARD OF SUPERVISOR MEMBERS -TODAY- AND TELL THEM YOU DEMAND HUMANE MEALS AND FOOD SAFETY IN OUR CITY'S TAX FUNDED SHELTERS.
