Mission: Building dignity. Sharing abundance. Nourishing lives.
Programs: The Marketplace The FoodBank’s Marketplace program offers customers a variety of fresh produce and groceries arranged in a market-style shopping experience. Brown Bag Delivery Every week, a team of dedicated staff and volunteers come together to pack and deliver food bags to seniors and homebound throughout the county. Student Snack Bag Program To help some children make it through the weekends, when school cafeteria programs aren’t available, we fill bags with nutritious, child-friendly food for students to take home in their backpacks. With this help, they can come back to school on Monday feeling better and more ready to learn. Community Partnerships Community FoodBank takes great pride in its partnerships with local organizations to promote a healthy community. Partners include local grocers, growers, and packers for food, leading corporations, service organizations from scouts groups to motorcycle clubs and other non-profits helping folks with essential needs in life. Community FoodBank serves 6,000 people per month through our food programs. Approximately 16% of our clients are seniors and 48% are children.
