About this facility

Mission
Our mission is to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in
Yolo County. We accomplish our mission by establishing and maintaining
collaborative relationships with over 70 non-profit programs,
private and public sector agencies, and service organizations
throughout Yolo County, and by fostering mutually beneficial
arrangements with commercial retail and wholesale food donors. The Food Bank of Yolo County began as an all-volunteer effort
in 1971. Known as the Yolo County Coalition Against Hunger,
volunteers used their own vehicles to gather and deliver food
to the needy in Yolo County. Today, several part time and
full time employees oversee the solicitation, storage and
distribution of food from an established network of growers,
manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and grocery stores,
while simultaneously cultivating new sources of food.
Dedicated and reliable volunteers continue to play a key
role in the success of the Food Bank’s operations.
