Description

Community Food Bank is a non-profit organization that collects and distributes food to people in our community who have difficulty purchasing enough food to avoid hunger and/or malnutrition. Community Food Bank also offers food to local non-profit organizations whose mission is to help similar people in the community.

The food that Community Food Bank distributes comes from local grocery and retail stores, like Safeway, Nob Hill, Lucky, and Target, from local growers like Phil Foster, Coke Farms, Heirloom Organics, and Shingai Farms, and local community members just like you. Community Food Bank is also a member of Ag Against Hunger in Salinas, which collects and redistributes surplus produce from across the central valley and central coast. Community Food Bank distributes over 1,000,000 pounds of food each year, most of which would otherwise be thrown away.

Community Food Bank is more than just food distribution center. We are a community leader in helping people in San Benito County who are struggling to make ends meet. From motivating city and county officials to protect programs to examining root causes of poverty, Community Food Bank creates tailored, responsive programs for clients, volunteers, donors, and non-profits. Many factors can go into why a person needs food assistance and the Community Food Bank is there to help.

It's no SECOND HARVEST, that's for sure. When you donate, items can be purchased for 7cents a pound! By city, county agencies for Their use, not the homeless, seniors, etc. ADS in stores asking for bags of food item donations to feed the homeless are DECEPTIVE....In 12years, our family has NEVER received a turkey on the holidays, just 4 chicken legs and thighs. Half turkeys cut by butcher would be wonderful. Produce only lasts a few days before it's ROTTEN and unusable. Same with 3day old bread. Bakery items are also days old but would be too expensive to purchase otherwise. Canned goods are rare as is any meat or protein other than peanut butter. But new pickup hours and marketplace atmosphere is WONDERFULLY FAIRER than standing for an hour. Still see ALOT OF PREFERENCE TO THE SPANISH SPEAKING LOCALS AT THE BAKERY TABLE. County is saving a FORTUNE in getting rid of food soon to spoil, that's for sure. So are the companies that donate it.
I love this place. I was hurt at work and now I’m disabled. I can’t work and food cost a lot . I have to choose between food or medication sometimes . It is hard. The USDA nextdoor is also grate.
Extremely helpful for all in need of food..this org saved me, at a time I really needed the help. Thank you!
Worked here for 2 and half months and loved every minute of it!
So thankful for this place...wish they didn't give so many expired foods out though
They help people so much the truly do care
Mostly veggies, everything else on the edge of stale. Frozen meat very helpful when they have it.
No fresh produce all day open. Nutrition is important.
If it wasn't for the food bank I don't know where I'll be I don't know if I have food but thanks to them I have food every week I'm glad we have this in Hollister
A terrific Non-profit run by some of the finest people! You get served with out feeling patronized!!!
