Yolo Food Bank durably increases food and nutrition security and helps create an equitable and sustainable local food system by: connecting individuals and families to healthy, high-quality food and resources; collaborating with community partners to deepen outreach and address food needs; and convening key players in the community to assess progress and plan collective actions. Yolo Food Bank does this by coordinating the recovery, storage, and distribution of food from a network of growers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and grocery stores, while cultivating new sources of food. Yolo Food Bank also collaborates with non-profit programs, private and public sector agencies, and service organizations throughout Yolo County to serve thousands of community members each month and distribute approximately 12 million pounds of food annually.
