Alameda County Community Food Bank

Organization Description

Our mission is to pursue a hunger free Alameda county so that no member of our community needs to worry about where their next meal is coming from. We do this through food distribution, policy and advocacy work, CalFresh outreach, health and nutrition initiatives.

Program Information

Volunteers are a vital part of our efforts to help 1 in 5 Alameda County residents including children, seniors, and entire families. Our warehouse and office are abuzz with hunger relief activity; and your help is needed more than ever.

Here's how you can help:
