Founded in 1970, and incorporated in 1971, the Food Bank of Yolo County in Northern California has grown from a backyard gleaning program, providing a few thousand pounds of food a year, to an organization staffed by more than a dozen full-time and part-time employees and hundreds of volunteers, that distributes millions of pounds of food annually. For over 40 years now, we're working to make a difference in the lives of people all over Yolo County.
