Ending Hunger Together
Every day thousands of people in our community struggle to meet their basic nutritional needs. Children, adults and seniors are suffering from hunger. The Food Bank is leading the fight against local hunger and you can make a difference right now.
Donate Money
The Food Bank invests your gift effectively and efficiently: 96% of your donation goes directly to food programs. With special deals and bulk purchasing, we can turn one dollar into two nutritious meals for children, individuals and seniors. We encourage you to find out more about the Food Programs your donation supports.
The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your gift is tax-deductible and you’ll receive a tax receipt for your contribution.
