Community FoodBank of San Benito

Organization Description

At the Community FoodBank of San Benito, we focus on providing fresh, nutritious food, with 80% of our offerings being fresh produce, much of it organic. We serve over 6,000 people monthly, delivering throughout the Hollister area and welcoming community members to our Marketplace every Friday and Saturday.

Our Mission is Building dignity. Sharing abundance. Nourishing lives.

Our mission is to empower the community through food and education, ensuring that no one in San Benito County suffers from hunger or malnutrition.
