Founded 48 years ago in the basement of Immaculate Conception Church, Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS) has grown into the largest nonprofit provider of basic human needs in Sacramento County, currently supplying our community with food, diapers, utility assistance, immigration legal services and refugee resettlement services.
More than 1 in 4 people in Sacramento County are at risk of hunger. As the food bank for Sacramento county, and the central hub of our community’s charitable distribution network, our objective is to provide healthy, nutritious food to children, families and seniors in need to help them live their best lives and reach their full potential.
Through our work, we were able to distribute 37.9 million pounds of food to our neighbors experiencing hunger in 2023, the equivalent of 31.6 million meals.
Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services is dedicated to assisting those in need by alleviating their immediate pain and problems and moving them toward self-sufficiency and financial independence.
The demand for food assistance in Sacramento County is at an all-time high. Our network of 125 partner agencies is currently serving an average of more than 305,000 individuals each month, which is more than double pre-pandemic levels.
SFBFS purchases the majority of the food we distribute, so your support will allow us to keep up with the unprecedented demand by purchasing healthy, nutritious food for community members experiencing hunger.
For every $1 donated, 95 cents is allocated toward our mission of providing meals for our neighbors in need. For every $1 donated, we can provide 3 meals.
