Food Bank Of Yolo County
About Us
Located in Woodland, California, the Food Bank of Yolo County began as an all-volunteer effort in 1971. Known as the Yolo County Coalition Against Hunger, volunteers used their own vehicles to gather and deliver food to the needy in Yolo County.
Today, employees oversee the solicitation, storage and distribution of food from an established network of growers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and grocery stores, while simultaneously continuing to cultivate new sources of food. We establish and maintain collaborative relationships with non-profit programs, private and public sector agencies, and service organizations throughout Yolo County as well as by fostering mutually beneficial arrangements with commercial retail and wholesale food donors.
