Parents. Workers. Kids. These are some of the people in our Food Bank lines 
– lines that have grown 18% longer in recent months. With food prices soaring, families are left with little choice as to how to spend their hard-earned money. With federal programs like SNAP and Medicaid currently at risk, many face uncertainty about how to put food on the table.
This is tearing apart the systems that provide support for our food insecure communities.
At Yolo Food Bank, we face our own challenges: federal funding from the USDA has been dramatically cut, and without a federal resource to backfill these funds, we must turn to our own community for support. With more families in our lines and funding being cut, it is threatening our ability to keep up.
While we
can’t predict what lies ahead, there is one thing we can say with certainty: Yolo Food Bank is here for anyone who needs us, for as long as they need us. But we can't do it alone. Yolo County is more resilient when we come together.
This Big Day of Giving, let's unite like never before. Every dollar raised will fund our ability to feed the more than 9,300 families that rely on our single most important program – our Public Community Food Distributions – a lifeline for thousands across our county.
Your support is more than a donation – it’s a statement of generosity and hope. Together, we can make sure no one in Yolo County faces hunger alone.
