Donations

REQUEST A DONATION

Each year we’re honored to be able to donate to local, San Francisco organizations and prioritize support for organizations and programs at the intersection of food, youth, and education, and those providing direct services to improve food security within our neighborhoods.

We offer all 501(c)(3) nonprofits a 10% food discount on orders placed with Bi-Rite Catering and are processing those requests as quickly as possible. 

Bi-Rite is also able to donate a limited number of Market gift cards and Bi-Rite Catering credits each month. Requests for those items may take up to 8 weeks to process. We’re sorry, but donations for Bi-Rite Creamery are not available.

Request a Donation

For Catering discount approvals, please submit your request at least 6 weeks in advance of your event date. We’ll respond to your request within 4 weeks, which provides you ample time to place your Catering order directly on our website.

We ask that Bi-Rite Market gift card and Bi-Rite Catering credit donation requests are made at least 8 weeks in advance of the date the donation is needed. Our typical procedure is to respond within 5 weeks of receiving the donation request; if you haven’t heard from us within 5 weeks, you can always email us at community@biritemarket.com.
