As the largest hunger relief organization in Sacramento County and the designated food bank, Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS) coordinates the recovery, collection, storage and distribution of charitable food for the entire county.
Through direct distributions and our network of 110 partners, we provide essential food to children, families and seniors struggling with hunger throughout Sacramento County. Together, we were able to distribute 39.9 million pounds of food to our neighbors in need in 2024, the equivalent of 33.2 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. SFBFS and our network of 110 partner agencies are currently serving an average of over 310,000 individuals each month—more than ever before.
This record-breaking demand for services, combined with high food prices and recent government cuts to food aid, is putting immense pressure on our organization. We need your support to ensure we can continue putting food on the tables of the 448,000+ Sacramentans at risk of hunger.
For every $10 donated, we can provide 30 meals.
