The sites include Montefiore Senior Center at the JCC of S.F., Congregation Adath Israel, Geriatric Services, L'Chaim Senior Center, the Ruth Ann Rosenberg Adult Day Health Center, the Alzheimer's Day Center and the Richmond Senior Center.

The vans also deliver meals to about 25 other seniors who live alone.The federally funded program serves more than 100,000 hot kosher meals each year to low-income seniors through the JCC.

KNP, under contract with the San Francisco Commission on the Aging, also receives funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Jewish Community Endowment Newhouse Fund, the David B. Gold Foundation and Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger.
