Today, that spirit of compassion has grown into a county-wide movement.

Hailing from Long Beach, CA, Mark grew up in a family of six children and has always had a passion for staying active and connected to his community. Having worked in the wine industry since he was 18, Mark enjoys hobbies like playing guitar, hiking, and indulging in great food. Above all, he is a proud father and a devout Christian who finds daily connection with God through scripture and prayer. His love for people shines through in everything he does. Why Mercy? Mark’s journey with Mercy began through a partnership between the organization and his church, Creekside Community in San Leandro, for fundraising events. Having also volunteered at the Alameda County Food Bank , he was eager to continue serving his community in a more hands-on way, which led him to Mercy. Volunteer Work at Mercy Over the years, Mark has contributed in various ways , from delivering grocery bags to elder care facilities in Oakland to assisting with loading bags and delivering pallet food to Allen Temple Arms. His volunteer work has spanned several areas, and for a while, he also spent time building food pallets in the Mercy Brown Bag Program (MBBP) warehouse. Unfortunately, his battle with bone marrow cancer forced him to take a break from this vital work, but Mark plans to return soon, demonstrating the kind of resilience and commitment that defines his service. Memorable Moments Mark has many heartwarming memories from his time volunteering, especially those before the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the most unforgettable moments took place when he visited elderly seniors at EE Cleveland Manor. He recalls Mrs. White, a lovely elderly woman, who shared her vintage radio with him and reminisced about music from the ’30s and ’40s. These personal connections have been incredibly meaningful to Mark, particularly the times when he prayed with residents—a practice that always leaves him feeling deeply fulfilled. What He Loves About Volunteering For Mark, it’s the people that make volunteering such a rewarding experience. Whether it’s the staff or the community members he serves, Mark believes that volunteering feeds his soul. In fact, he often feels like he benefits just as much, if not more, than those he helps. It’s this deep connection with others that continues to inspire his dedication to Mercy. Advice for New Volunteers Mark encourages those considering volunteering to start small. MBBP offers opportunities at all commitment levels , so even dedicating just 30 minutes every couple of weeks to help load bags can be a meaningful start. He promises that once you begin, you may find it as rewarding as he has. Mark Hess’s story is a beautiful example of selfless service and the power of community. His journey with Mercy has been shaped by his unwavering faith, his love for others, and his desire to make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. We are so lucky to have him on our team! Healthy Resources Mercy Brown Bag Nutrition cards help our senior neighbors make the most of the food they receive.

That first day, we served three older adults in need. By the end of our first month, we had hosted 150 shoppers. In the Summer of 2025, the Store Averaged 2,400 Shoppers a Month. Twice a month, our senior clients fill their grocery bags with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fresh protein (chicken/fish/eggs) as well as shelf stable goods. Seniors often gather hours before the store opens to socialize, play cards, and exchange stories. The CommonSpirit Health Grocery is open Monday-Friday from 10-2pm.

Food is a critical component of ongoing health, particularly for seniors. Nutritious, fresh food can stave off or control life threatening diseases including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Mercy Brown Bag provides Alameda County seniors in need of food with two grocery bags a month full of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable goods. Every grocery bag we distribute meets USDA good food guidelines and is both fresh and nutritious. We Know Good Health Comes From Diets Filled with Fresh Fruits and Vegetables. In the last three years, we have increased our percentage of fresh fruits and veggies from 47% of every grocery bag we distribute to 57%! We also spend a large portion of our budget on fresh protein, ensuring that every bag contains almost 20% protein, a necessary macronutrient that helps seniors to retain muscle strength. Only 6.5% of our bags are canned goods, traditionally distributed by pantries.

Our mobile grocery truck feeds over 2,700 people per month and can carry enough food for 230 individuals. It’s on the road five days a week, stopping at senior centers and senior residences in San Leandro, Hayward, and Oakland. How It Works: We open the sides of our mobile grocery truck so our senior clients can “shop” farmers market style with dignity, selecting the fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains that appeal to them and reducing waste by choosing the amounts that work best for their household. Our mobile food truck was donated by our amazing partner, Crescent Porter Hale Foundation, a supporter of Mercy Brown Bag since 1983.

Food insecurity is widespread among older adults. According to Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks, nearly five million seniors in the United States worry about having enough food. Senior hunger raises the risk of chronic health conditions, depression, and homelessness. The Mercy Brown Bag Program distributes groceries to seniors throughout Alameda County twice a month, free of charge. Depending on availability, each bag is brimming with nutritious items, such as fresh milk, tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes, carrots, oatmeal, plums, canned goods, low-sodium spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, tuna, eggs and more. Throughout the year, generous donors help us add frozen chicken or ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce and other treats. Find Free Food & Groceries Our Locations Am I Eligible? We are happy to provide nutritious groceries to our neighbors in Alameda County who are 60 years old and older and have incomes that are less than 232% of the federal poverty line.

That is challenging for a state already facing a lot of senior poverty. However, this is not unique to California. Millions of seniors in the US face economic trouble. Around half of the older adult population gets the majority of their spending money via Social Security checks, and experts expect homelessness to become a bigger problem for seniors, which led to the creation of the Mercy Brown Bag Program. Stats From the Mercy Brown Bag Program As the cost of living rises, even seniors who aren’t considered impoverished could face senior homelessness. Around 20% of California seniors cannot afford necessities but don’t qualify for financial assistance. That leaves them having to make tough financial decisions, such as deciding between medications or food. About This Program These statistics indicate the need for help among low-income seniors. We at Elder Care Alliance started the Mercy Brown Bag Program as one of our ways to help older adults. This volunteer-driven program offers free services and food to those in need. It is also a “seniors helping seniors” program, meaning that most volunteers are older adults. How It Helps the Homeless The Mercy Brown Bag Program helps people experiencing homelessness because volunteers stuffed sacks with nutritious food. Over a year, volunteers from our communities and beyond stuffed hundreds of thousands of bags with millions of pounds of food and distributed them. That helps thousands of homeless and hungry seniors get food that they need. The Contents of the Bags Each bag has about 20 pounds of food in it. The food that goes into it is healthy and nutritious for older adults. Aside from filling their bellies, this food will keep them healthy despite their age and potential health concerns. In other words, they will receive health-conscious choices. Some of the items you might find in a bag include: Canned foods Fresh fruits and vegetables Lean meats Healthy grains Benefits of This Program Thanks to this program, seniors in need don’t have to decide whether to pay for their medications or buy ingredients to cook their next meal. Some of the homeless population rely on these brown bags to survive. This makes it easier for seniors living in tough financial situations to live a better life. Volunteering With the Program As mentioned, this is a seniors helping seniors program. That means that any seniors who have time to volunteer can do so to help others in need. Volunteers can help sort food and pack the bags that go to many different sites for distribution. No matter your skills, if you are ready to help your peers, this program is for you. Get Involved With Mercy Brown Bag Today If you’re interested in volunteering, there are many jobs you could help with. Volunteers do everything from sorting food to distributing the bags.

Advocate for Mercy Brown Bag and healthy food for seniors Mercy Brown Bag Program has ramped up its advocacy on behalf of hungry seniors in the past few years, meeting with local, county and state officials who set policy for the seniors we serve. We coordinate and partner with 40 other community benefit organizations (CBOs) as part of the Alameda County Senior Services Coalition and meet regularly with other nutrition providers organized by United Seniors of Alameda County. Census reports tell us there are approximately 25,000 nutrition-insecure older adults in Alameda County., Mercy Brown Bag provides for over 40% of them. We believe in Food Justice – that everyone is entitled to healthy, nutritious foods – and strive to create an environment that supports individual dignity. We distribute food in 33 food deserts across Alameda County and have added 5 new food distribution sites this year.

Mary joined us as a volunteer during the early days of COVID-19 and has been a vital part of our team for over four years. Her journey is a beautiful blend of personal dedication, a career in law, caregiving, world travel, and a commitment to community service that shines through in all she does. A Rich Life of Service and Family After a long, fulfilling career in law, Mary retired about a decade ago to care for her mother, who had Alzheimer’s. She describes those years as humbling and eye-opening, helping her learn firsthand about the challenges and rewards of caregiving. Alongside her caregiving duties, Mary continued to share her expertise by volunteering as a legal mentor and even traveled extensively when she could. Most recently, she has been working with Afghan women attorneys who sought refuge in the U.S. following the Taliban’s return to power—an effort that highlights Mary’s dedication to empowering others. Family is central to Mary’s life. Her heart is with her two sons, two grandsons, her daughters-in-law, and a cherished extended family in Hawaii and beyond. Why Mary Joined MBBP Mary’s connection to MBBP has deep roots. Her mother spent her last days at Mercy’s rehab center in 2019, and seeing the kindness and compassion her mother received left a lasting impression on Mary. When COVID-19 struck and she saw a call for MBBP volunteers in the AARP magazine, she felt a strong sense of purpose to give back to the organization that had supported her mother during her final days. It felt, as Mary says, “preordained.” The Many Hats Mary Wears at MBBP Mary’s role at MBBP has evolved over the years. During the height of COVID-19, she focused on bagging and delivering groceries to seniors in their homes, ensuring they had access to essentials during a time of heightened isolation. Today, you can often find Mary at the MBBP Grocery Store, where seniors come to choose fresh produce, meat, eggs, cooking oil, and other necessities. Her tasks range from stocking shelves to sorting and bagging food—a role she says has notably improved her box-breaking skills!- Mary and fellow volunteer Anna Cosby packing produce at our Chapman Warehouse. Mary distributing produce at our CSH Store in Fruitvale. A Memorable Moment: Connection and Gratitude Among her cherished memories, one stands out: delivering groceries to a senior woman during the pandemic who later shared that her daughter was moving back home to care for her. Knowing that the senior would now have the support of her family brought Mary a deep sense of joy and fulfillment, underscoring the impact of MBBP’s work in building connections and support systems. Why Volunteering Matters For Mary, volunteering at MBBP is more than a way to give back —it’s about being part of a team that shares a purpose. She appreciates how easy MBBP’s volunteer sign-up system makes it to balance volunteering with her other commitments and finds that the “workout” involved in her tasks is better than any gym session! Mary’s Advice for New Volunteers To anyone considering joining the MBBP team, Mary has some wise words: “Volunteering is good for the soul, and the workout is better than going to a gym. If you’re fortunate enough to be physically able to volunteer, don’t hesitate to join the team! Do it now, while you can!” Thank you, Mary, for all you do for Mercy Brown Bag Program. Your dedication, compassion, and energy inspire us all! Healthy Resources Mercy Brown Bag Nutrition cards help our senior neighbors make the most of the food they receive.

Now, we’re taking a big step forward toward sustainability with the help of an inspiring partnership with StopWaste. Together, we’ve implemented a reusable bag initiative that not only reduces waste but also ensures a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective future for the program. Moving Beyond Paper Bags For decades, MBBP has relied on brown paper bags for grocery distributions to seniors. While this approach has served us well, the increasing costs and environmental impact made it clear we needed a change. With the constant growth of the program, these expenses have added up, and the environmental toll was no longer aligned with our values. Thanks to StopWaste, a public agency within Alameda County committed to reducing waste, we found a sustainable solution. Through their support, we’ve transitioned to durable, reusable bags that meet the needs of our program and the seniors we serve.   Durable, Cost-Effective Solutions The benefits of this shift are immediate and impactful. Designed with seniors in mind, these reusable bags are built to last at least two years, reducing the need for replacements and lowering costs. By the end of 2024, MBBP saved $1,800 from this initiative, and in 2025, savings are anticipated to be over $12,000. This means we can reallocate those funds to other critical needs, such as providing fresh protein and produce, ensuring we continue to meet the growing demand in our community.   A Positive Environmental Impact Switching to reusable bags also helps us address one of today’s most pressing issues: waste reduction. By eliminating paper bags, MBBP has already prevented over 700 pounds of waste from entering landfills. This move is part of a broader effort to reduce our carbon footprint and make our operations more eco-friendly. Since 2020, the Mercy Brown Bag Program has grown by 50%, serving more seniors than ever. As we expand, being eco-conscious is vital to ensure that our growth doesn’t come at the expense of the environment.   Looking to the Future The transition to reusable bags is just the start of MBBP’s sustainability journey. From sourcing food to packaging, we’re exploring every opportunity to minimize waste and reduce our environmental impact. By the end of 2025, with real findings under our belt, we hope to serve as a model for how non-profits can make a meaningful difference for both their bottom line and the planet. The partnership with StopWaste is a powerful reminder that environmental stewardship and social good go hand in hand. As MBBP continues to provide nutritious food to thousands of seniors each month, we’re proud to do so in a way that benefits both our community and the Earth. Together, we’re building a legacy of care and sustainability for future generations. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey toward a greener future!

The seniors, living comfortably at MRCC, observed that many of their senior neighbors did not have sufficient food and approached neighborhood businesses asking for cash and donated groceries to build bags of food to give to their neighbors in need. Today, 43 years later, Mercy Brown Bag feeds 10,000 seniors across Alameda County twice a month. Brown Bag distributes free, nutritious groceries to qualified, low-income seniors at over 80 locations in 13 cities, from 82 different locations.

She appreciates the good feeling that comes from volunteering, but also recognizes how the program fills a critical need. “If you had to go to the store and buy all of your fruits and vegetables, it would be a toss-up—pay your rent or buy food,” she says. “People here rely on the Mercy Brown Bag Program, and I want to do my fair share.” – Volunteer “Today I haven’t any food” “The program helps me in between my paychecks. Today I haven’t any food, will receive my check Wednesday – this food helps me out a lot, that’s the reason I am here, and the employees are great. Thank you.” – Recipient “I spend all day on the phone trying to figure out how to get help.” “I am 63 years old and pay $900 rent each month for a single room occupancy hotel room, my income is $953 a month. I learned of your program because you did a health and safety check and saw my refrigerator was completely empty. I am bed-confined and have bites from bed bugs and cockroaches that crawl on me. I spend all day on the phone trying to figure out how to get help. I am very grateful for the help with groceries.” – Recipient Volunteer stories – “They made sure their children ate—now they go without” The number of phone calls I receive asking for help can be staggering some days. Let me tell you about two calls that still haunt me and remind me why we continue to provide groceries. I use them as motivations when I’m struggling to keep up with the job. The first was a voice message left by a senior with a shaky voice who asked to enroll because she was having trouble coming up with rent money. She said “If I become homeless, what will happen to my cat? It is so hard now…I know that people say 60 is not old, but I wish I had died 10 years ago.” When I called her back, her number had been disconnected. The second call was a woman who said she knew about our program because she worked in non-profits and had referred others to our services. She said, “I never thought I’d have to call for myself. Then my son spent a year in the hospital and all of my savings are gone. I know I should have called a while ago, but I was afraid I might see someone I know volunteering at the site. Now I realize I have put it off as long as I can, I have to swallow my pride…and ask for help…so we can survive.” The site she was asking to join had a waiting list at that time. I hung up the phone and cried. So many of the women we serve are trying to survive on very small Social Security checks because they were “at-home moms” and did not have an income for a large portion of their lives. They made sure there was healthy food on their table for their children, but now have none for themselves. The choices these men and women are forced to make are heartbreaking. Imagine sitting in front of your pill bottle knowing that if you don’t take that $2 pill you won’t get better, but if you do you’ll have to skip dinner tonight – and you won’t get better. Free groceries allows the seniors to do things they would not otherwise be able to afford. Transportation to important events in their lives such as a visiting a friend in the hospital, buying a present for their grandchild’s birthday, turning on the heat on cold days or a fan on hot days – these “luxuries” can be realities only if they do not have to buy food. – Volunteer “There is no food in my kitchen” Linda arrived in Sacramento to advocate for an increase in benefits for low income Californians. Seniors on SSI/SSP receive $889 a month. This doesn’t even cover the cost of a market-rate apartment in Oakland, CA. Sitting across from her district representative he said, “Tell me your story.” She began, “Well, there is no food in my kitchen. My fridge has been empty for three days.” – Volunteer “I spend all day on the phone trying to figure out how to get help.” “I am 63 years old and pay $900 rent each month for a single room occupancy hotel room, my income is $953 a month. I learned of your program because you did a health and safety check and saw my refrigerator was completely empty. I am bed-confined and have bites from bed bugs and cockroaches that crawl on me. I spend all day on the phone trying to figure out how to get help. I am very grateful for the help with groceries.” – Recipient “The rent is so high I can’t afford to get food.” “I have a place to stay but I would like to have something to eat. I’m renting a place but the rent is so high I can’t afford to get food.” – Recipient “This program makes such a big difference in my life.” – Recipient “You wear the cleanest of the dirties just so you can eat.” “This is reality: You’re counting quarters for the washing machine and have to put it off for another month so you wear the cleanest of the dirties, just so you can eat.” – Recipient “I need Brown Bag to live. I have no money to buy food.” “I’ve never had to get free food before but I need Brown Bag to live. I have no money to buy food.” – Recipient “Thank you for helping me survive.” “I can’t be on the program anymore because I am moving to Tracy, but I just called to say thank you for helping me survive.” – Recipient “Can I come back on your program?” “After I learned about my brain tumor, I wanted to eat only organic food but I have to be realistic. I can’t afford that, if I did that I would hardly eat at all, so can I come back on your program?” – Recipient “I have no funds to buy groceries for myself” “I am 93 years old, and have just been released from convalescent home to be able to return to my apartment after an illness (broken ankle) and I am on SSI. After being in the convalescent home, I have no funds to buy groceries for myself now that I am back in my home, and I need the services of the Brown Bag program, which I have never used before. I have always taken care of myself, so I need to get information. I do not know how to do this, please give me a call, I need your help as soon as possible. If there is some way that someone can help me stock up some food now that I have nothing in the house, that would be helpful.” – Recipient “I pay $900 rent each month for a single room. My income is $953 a month.” “I am 63 years old and pay $900 rent each month for a single room occupancy hotel room, my income is $953 a month.

She appreciates the good feeling that comes from volunteering, but also recognizes how the program fills a critical need. “If you had to go to the store and buy all of your fruits and vegetables, it would be a toss-up—pay your rent or buy food,” she says. “People here rely on the Mercy Brown Bag Program, and I want to do my fair share.” – Volunteer “Today I haven’t any food” “The program helps me in between my paychecks. Today I haven’t any food, will receive my check Wednesday – this food helps me out a lot, that’s the reason I am here, and the employees are great. Thank you.” – Recipient “I spend all day on the phone trying to figure out how to get help.” “I am 63 years old and pay $900 rent each month for a single room occupancy hotel room, my income is $953 a month. I learned of your program because you did a health and safety check and saw my refrigerator was completely empty. I am bed-confined and have bites from bed bugs and cockroaches that crawl on me. I spend all day on the phone trying to figure out how to get help. I am very grateful for the help with groceries.” – Recipient Volunteer stories – “They made sure their children ate—now they go without” The number of phone calls I receive asking for help can be staggering some days. Let me tell you about two calls that still haunt me and remind me why we continue to provide groceries. I use them as motivations when I’m struggling to keep up with the job. The first was a voice message left by a senior with a shaky voice who asked to enroll because she was having trouble coming up with rent money. She said “If I become homeless, what will happen to my cat? It is so hard now…I know that people say 60 is not old, but I wish I had died 10 years ago.” When I called her back, her number had been disconnected. The second call was a woman who said she knew about our program because she worked in non-profits and had referred others to our services. She said, “I never thought I’d have to call for myself.

Root-LD is the traveling context pod for this entity — permanent, provenance-grounded. The head <script> block is machine-readable. This section shows the same data to humans. We show the work in both spaces.
Layer 1 — Anchor · Immutable after mint. UUID, federation_id, content hash, timestamps. A new crawl appends to recursive — the anchor is never touched. Law I — Provenance.
