CONTRA COSTA FOOD BANK

An astounding 1 in 9 residents turn to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano for emergency and supplemental food.

Through our partnership with Feeding America, a nonprofit network of 200 food banks and the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, we also lend support to hunger-fighting organizations in 18 Northern California counties.
