Individuals in California can turn to a local food bank for free or low cost food and groceries. Many of the food banks listed below work with other local charities, churches, and non-profits in your county a and town. Together the various groups in your county distribute food, groceries, produce, dairy products, and much more to anyone who needs help.
The California food banks also partner with Feeding America, which is a national non-profit organization that operates in all 50 states across the country. Together these various food distribution centers can assist Californian families and individuals with accessing free food assistance and nutrition programs, including performing such activities as distributing fresh produce through the Farm to Family program.
Each and every year tens of millions of pounds of food are distributed to hundreds of thousands of individuals across California. While it is oftentimes the low income who request food, it is also very common for anyone who needs help to stop at a food bank. Many unemployed, people facing a short term financial hardship, the elderly, and others take advantage of the food pantries to meet their nutritional needs.
In addition to the food banks listed below, you can get food and other aid from California non-profits, government food programs, and also learn how people of all incomes can receive food at 50% off from organizations such as Angel Food Ministries. Click here.
