Fill the Need - Feed the Hope
As a dedicated 501 (c) (3) non-profit, Elk Grove Food Bank Services enjoys rich collaborative partnerships with local businesses, government, donors, volunteers, agencies and people we serve. Because of this strong community support, Elk Grove Food Bank Services is there to help when we’re needed. Even after three decades, we still strive to respond to our community needs by improving and expanding services and developing new programs.
History
Since 1974, the Food Bank has vigorously
pursued to eradicate hunger within the community. It originally
started from a food closet at a local church by the Elk Grove
Ministerial Association to meet the need of those less
fortunate.
A Board of Directors was organized in the
early 1990's, a merge occurred with the Elk Grove Clothes Closet
and the Food Bank became a 501-c-3 in 2004. As the region
experienced explosive growth, the Food Bank continued to expand
its services to keep up with the additional challenges brought
with the influx of new residents.
Today the Elk Grove Food Bank Services
provides eight programs to a bustling community. We are
dedicated to alleviating hunger, developing programs to increase
awareness and providing an opportunity for volunteerism and
community involvement.
