These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

‘A Creator’s Dream’: Inside the SF Studio Building a Hub for Low-Income Artists Hospitality House has purchased a mid-Market building that contains the nonprofit’s fine art studio — securing its future forever.

After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.

I wrote about some good! news!! for low-income artists and unhoused folks in SF. We need some joy in this terrible moment, and @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social is delivering. Check out my latest piece on what the purchase of a building on Market Street means for the future of artmaking in the city.

SF Streamlined Its Street Teams. Now, Fewer People Are Getting the Help They Need Street medicine outreach workers describe a new, expensive, and disorganized program that lacks clear objectives.

"One health worker expressed concern for the dozen or so homeless clients they used to see each day, who they would provide with prescriptions for high blood pressure, colostomy bags, or insulin for diabetes. 'Where are those people getting their medicine now?' they asked.”

TAG YOURSELF which Coyote are you? And while you're at it, join us at @coyotemedia.org and support our new org. The rewards are fun, and if you get a nature walk I might teach you about seaweed foraging or lichen identification!
