SF Food Bank’s Gary Maxworthy Honored with a Jefferson Award

San Francisco Food Bank board member and architect of the Farm to Family program, Gary Maxworthy, has again been recognized for his contributions to providing millions of pounds of fresh produce for California’s hungry.

Last month, Gary was invited to the White House to celebrate the launch of the new White House Office of Social Innovation.
