The Foodbank's Picnic in the Park program is our summer meal program designed to ensure kids in our community have access to healthy, nutritious lunch even when school is not in session. Thousands of kids receive free or subsidized lunch daily at school and we are stepping in to make sure that summer does not change that for them. We currently operate three sites - downtown Santa Barbara, Goleta and Isla Vista. We need driver volunteers that will come to the warehouse (4554 Hollister Avenue) and in a company vehicle pick up the preprepared meals and do a delivery route to downtown, Goleta and Isla Vista. We currently have an urgent need for assistance on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through the end of the program - and having a few back-up drivers would be great to have in case of emergency. If you think you could help, please don't hesitate to reach out immediately to Spencer at svonhershman@foodbanksbc.org or (805) 729-8309.

About Foodbank of Santa Barbara County

Mission Statement
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County’s mission is to end hunger and transform the health of Santa Barbara County through good nutrition.
Description
OUR APPROACH
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is committed to taking a negative thing - hunger - and through our combined community efforts transforming it into a positive thing - health. This leap forward in health is achieved with three ingredients: food, education and empowerment. The challenges of Hunger, Nutrition and Obesity used to be separate areas dealt with by different approaches and by different agencies and groups. The Foodbank is now tackling all three of these problems at once - through a nationally recognized continuum of programs that provide cradle to graduation intervention in children’s lives.
This builds what we call their food literacy: their ability to look after themselves with food - to budget, shop cook and use food responsibly. If we can transform their relationship to food to being one of using it as a scarce and valuable resource to power their personal health, then that is going to create that tipping point that makes a huge transformation in the health of Santa Barbara County.
By supporting the Foodbank, you are also supporting the good work of
300 agencies and programs countywide.
