March 26, 1947 — October 18, 2024
Michael Levy, who spent several years working at The Hunger Project in San Francisco, died on October 18, 2024. Though Michael worked as an academic, in publishing, and in retail, it was his work at The Hunger Project that he was most passionate about.
Michael was also an artist, working in paint and fabric. He was especially proud of his photography. In addition, he was part of a loose network of beachgoers in Marin in the 1980s, where, as he wrote, "With no labels — or clothing — on people and with absolutely no barriers to chatty friendliness, freedom was a tangible, plentiful commodity."
Michael lived in New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia before moving to San Francisco. He spent the last 10 years of his life living at the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living, where he taught art classes and stirred the pot.
