Each day, our PFB team works diligently to strengthen our ability to provide access to healthy foods for people of all ages, genders, race, and ethnicities impacted by the pandemic, inflation, and/or natural disasters.

Placer Food Bank continues to witness increased hunger in our suburban communities and especially in remote and rural areas of the communities that we serve throughout El Dorado, Nevada and Placer Counties. We are mindful about the negative impact of those who experience high rates of chronic food insecurity and poverty.

Our goal is to uplift our community, feed our hungry, expand and improve our services so that we can reach more individuals and families so they can have food on their tables. Because of this, our organization is evolving, beginning with strengthening our infrastructure. We are growing a dedicated staff with expertise aligned with our mission. We have worked the past two years to upgrade our equipment for storing and distributing food. We are expanding our warehouse space by over 40,000 sq. ft. The expansion is possible through a grant from the California Department of Social Services. Construction begins late summer 2022.

Our work to provide food assistance cannot happen without the generous support of our staff and volunteers and through funding received through our valued community of individual, corporate, community and grant partners. I invite you to learn more about Placer Food Bank through information provided on our website, and also by going here.

Please join in. Get involved. Let’s help solve hunger together.
