My Story…
Since 1987, the Redwood Empire Food Bank has been feeding our neighbors in need and leading the community to end hunger.
We distribute food through our own programs and our partner organizations in Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties. As the largest hunger-relief organization in our area, we work on the front lines of emergency food assistance in our region, playing a crucial role in helping individuals, families, seniors, and children.
We serve our communities through three initiatives. Every Child, Every Day includes four robust programs that address the nutritional needs of children, targeting both schools and seasonal meal gaps. Senior Security serves a monthly average of 5,400 low-income seniors healthy, fresh food across our five-county region. Neighborhood Hunger Network strives to improve the health and well-being of our community with food and nutrition education.
What we do is simple, but how we do it is surprisingly complicated.
In 2021, we distributed enough food for over 24 million meals. To accomplish this, we relied on the support of:
13,783 individual monetary donors
10,000 dedicated volunteers
710 corporate, foundation, and organization donors
113 farms, food manufacturers, and suppliers
82 passionate staff
