Throughout the Bay Area, thousands of low-income individuals and families have to choose between paying bills and buying food. Children go to bed hungry when their parents cannot afford food. Seniors sacrifice wholesome meals to afford vital medication.
Bay Area Food Banks is a collaboration of 7 local food banks serving 10 northern California counties. We distributed 90.3 million pounds of food to adults and children in need last year through 1,560 food pantries, children’s programs, shelters, soup kitchens, residential programs and other emergency food providers. Each month, Bay Area Food Banks serve more than half a million people, 48 percent of whom are children. Our shared mission is to end hunger in our communities.
