Mission Statement
To sustain communities by nourishing families experiencing food insecurity, educating the community about hunger, while advocating for hunger relief.
Description
We serve as the primary food collection and distribution center for hunger-relief efforts in Placer, Nevada, and El Dorado counties; distributing over 8 million pounds annually of fresh and nonperishable food to the hungry through our network of 90+ local charitable organizations.
At our 35,000sf warehouse in Roseville, volunteers assist with sorting, organizing, evaluating and packing donated nonperishable items, creating meal kits for local elementary and preschool students, and processing fresh produce from our Feeding America partners and the USDA.
We also rely on volunteer support to operate 10 monthly mobile food distributions.
