Heather Pierini (born December 30, 1974) is an American philanthropist who is best known as the co-founder and executive director of Food is Free, a charity that provides food to people in need.
Work with Food is Free
[edit]Pierini is a mother[1] who lives in Benicia, California.[2]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pierini created a food stand for Food is Free to help people in need.[3] Many people joined her in helping to provide food for families.
In 2021, Food is Free was robbed of diapers and other things. Pierini responded to this by adding extra security to the food stands.[4]
In 2023, Pierini hosted "Giving Tuesday" at the Solano County Fairgrounds with Food is Free, in which families came to the fairgrounds to collect food.[5] In the aftermath of the 2025 US government shutdown, Pierini gave food to many people who were unable to get SNAP benefits.[6]
