Stadium Drives

Each year the San Francisco 49ers partner with a number of outstanding non-profit organizations in the Bay Area in an effort to create awareness for the need to end hunger, homelessness, and poverty in our communities. Our game day stadium collection drives allow us to assist in providing those in need with food, clothing, and additional everyday needs and support.
