The Placer Food Bank works diligently to strengthen our ability to provide access to healthy foods for people of all ages, genders, race, and ethnicities impacted by the pandemic, inflation, and/or natural disasters.

Placer Food Bank continues to witness increased hunger in our suburban communities and especially in remote and rural areas of the communities that we serve throughout El Dorado, Nevada and Placer Counties. We are mindful about the negative impact of those who experience high rates of chronic food insecurity and poverty.

Our goal is to uplift our community, feed our hungry, expand and improve our services so that we can reach more individuals and families so they can have food on their tables. Because of this, our organization is evolving, beginning with strengthening our infrastructure. We are growing a dedicated staff with expertise aligned with our mission. We have worked the past two years to upgrade our equipment for storing and distributing food. We are expanding our warehouse space by over 40,000 sq. ft. The expansion is possible through a grant from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS).

The Placer Food Bank partners with staff and volunteers supported by funding received through our valued community of individual, corporate, community and grant partners.
