Alameda County Community Food Bank
The Alameda County Community Food Bank has been in business since 1985 … with a vision toward a day when we can go out of business. As Alameda County's central clearinghouse for donated food, the Food Bank distributed 18.6 million pounds of food in 2009 – 48% of it (8.7 million pounds) in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Through a network of 275 strategically placed member agencies – food pantries, soup kitchens, child-care centers, senior centers, after-school programs and other community-based organizations – the Food Bank distributes enough food for 300,000 meals weekly.
Our systematic approach to alleviating hunger includes:
-One of California’s busiest – and most efficient – emergency food helplines
-A multilingual food stamp outreach program which serves as the blueprint for programs across the nation
-Dynamic hunger and nutrition education programs
