| Our mission is to alleviate hunger and malnutrition in Yolo County. We accomplish our mission by establishing and maintaining collaborative relationships with over 70 non-profit programs, private and public sector agencies, and service organizations throughout Yolo County, and by fostering mutually beneficial arrangements with commercial retail and wholesale food donors. 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, several part time and full time employees oversee the solicitation, storage and distribution of food from an established network of growers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and grocery stores, while simultaneously cultivating new sources of food. Dedicated and reliable volunteers continue to play a key role in the success of the Food Bank’s operations. |

| Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people. --Dolores Huerta |
