The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is working to bring healthy food to our community members during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Help us ensure that homebound senior citizens have access to fresh produce and shelf-stable foods while they remain under stay-at-home orders!
Using their own vehicles, volunteer drivers will pick up grocery bags and deliver them to addresses on pre-determined routes.
Social distancing rules are in place to keep all Foodbank clients, volunteers, and staff safe. Volunteer drivers are required to wear a protective face mask at all times, and protective gloves when handling grocery items. Volunteers must bring their own face mask but may request gloves at their shift.
Drivers must be at least 16 years or older, have a valid driver’s license, and have a clean driving record. Drivers may need to carry grocery bags and other items that weigh up to 40 pounds.
This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity in both North and South County. No minimum time commitment is required. However, recurring drivers who can assist twice per month are preferred.
Join us in our emergency response efforts today! For more information and shift times, please contact Lena Childers at lchilders@foodbanksbc.org.

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.
