Off the Grid Flood & Storm Relief Efforts 2023

Bay Area counties have declared a state of emergency in response to the record-breaking storms and the pursuant floods, landslides, and infrastructure-related dangers. Dire warnings have been issued throughout the region, neighborhoods are being evacuated, and shelters are preparing to serve their communities.

Off the Grid is proud to have once again partnered with our Food Responders platform to activate local food businesses to support those displaced by these historic rainstorms and floods.

For every $10 meal you help fund, you will not only provide a basic need to those who have been affected by the floods, but also create vital revenue opportunities for local food businesses who have faced a continuous stream of challenges, from Covid closures to weather-related revenue loss. 100% of proceeds will go toward meal booking for local businesses to support their community. Any remaining funds will be donated to 18 Reasons for their food education programs supporting the Mission district community.

On behalf of our vendor partners, and the larger Off the Grid community, we thank you for your generous support.

About Off the Grid

Off the Grid began in June 2010 with the simple idea of grouping Street Food creators together to create an experience that allows neighbors to connect with friends, and families to reconnect with each other.

Since then, our markets have become a Bay Area icon and quintessential Bay Area activity, known for its unique food and cultural experiences. We currently operate 60+ weekly public events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and serve over 1 million meals a year through our public sale events.

After seeing people’s love of street food, we decided to bring food to where people work and where they make memories – with Off the Grid Catering. Which serves over 2 million meals a year.
