Food for Thought: Dine Out, Do Good
September 15 - October 15, 2025
Food for Thought, Mission Graduates' annual signature fundraising event, is a city-wide dining experience that transforms your meal into an opportunity for social change.
Dine at some of San Francisco's most beloved restaurants—including Foreign Cinema, Mission Bowling Club, Asiento SF, and Panchita's Pupuseria, which donate a portion of their proceeds—all while supporting Mission Graduates.
By simply enjoying a meal, you'll support student success initiatives and help build a brighter future for San Francisco.
Last year's Food for Thought event raised nearly $150,000, directly supporting students and families!
