The Street Store and the Little Free Food Pantry are mutual aid projects initiated by VAN GOGH DESIGN in Berkeley, California. We had no funding and were not a non-profit. We covered the cost of materials and printing ourselves.
​
This page lists the business partners we have worked with while running both projects. These companies donated food, coffee, clothing, socks, bread and volunteer labor. ​

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Thank you to all of the neighbors in Westbrae who took the time to drop food off! You shared food from your fruit trees and gardens and helped us to keep it stocked over the years. Your generosity had a ripple effect.
​
A huge thank you to Colleen Fain. Your generosity helped us establish trust with everyone at the beginning. You ordered tons of food and bought literally thousands of bags for the bread we packaged up every Wednesday.
Thank you to Kai on Rose Street for her commitment to this project. Thank you for all the times that you took care of bread day when we went away on holiday. Thank you for SHOWING UP! Thank you to Stella who left me a voicemail and wanted to volunteer. Henry and I loved working with you. You were so fast and just got it all done so quickly. We did start to burn out at the end, and when people come forward to help, it makes a huge difference!
