Who we are

Neighbors helping neighbors

Support Life Foundation runs free food, education, and health programs. Volunteers do the work.

Our mission

Food, school, and care: free, for everyone

We bring groceries to homes in California, pay teachers in Sierra Leone, and keep a women's health clinic open in Cameroon.

It's free for everyone. No cost, no income paperwork. Nobody has to prove anything to eat. If your family could use the food, that's reason enough.

In California we operate out of 11 hubs and deliver to 25+ cities across 7 counties, reaching about 2,000 families a week.

How it started

A group of friends, 2020

In 2020, a few friends in the Bay Area started giving out food and paying school fees with their own money. They kept a list of families on a phone and split the driving between them.

Word spread, more people asked to help, and the group became Support Life Foundation. Today the same idea runs it: people who live here take care of people who live here. Every program still leans on volunteers, from the drivers in Oakland to the teachers in Malakai.
