Thrive City Farmers Market on Wheels has become an essential program to provide food security support for some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Offering nutritional items to the community who do not otherwise have access to healthy options has become a staple of our immediate impact.

On the court, every point counts. Off the court, every point feeds. During the 21’-22’ season, every time the Warriors scored a point, 100 meals were donated to local food banks to support Bay Area families. This means when our team puts up 100 points, win or lose, Kaiser Permanente, Athletes Corner and the Warriors are donating 10,000 meals to prevent hunger. The Golden State Warriors partnered with Kaiser Permanente, The Athletes’ Corner, Feeding America and Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to support the Drive-Thru Grocery Distribution at Skyline College in San Bruno.

This past season, the Warriors and Chase relaunched Home Court Assist, a six-month meal delivery program that delivers over 12,000 hot meals to Bay Area communities in need from local restaurants throughout the course of the season.

The Golden State Warriors, in partnership with Adobe, aim to inspire mental wellness for elementary-aged students through creativity and self-expression. The Peaceful Warriors program is designed to inspire, empower and equip young people with the tools to thrive in social circumstances through creativity, while simultaneously fostering a nurturing holistic approach to uplift and transform school culture to become an inclusive, safe, supportive and creative environment for all. The program will continue to focus on meeting the current needs of students, while using art as a creative outlet for self-expression, peaceful communication, and social emotional learning, through mindfulness and the arts.
