About us
Established in 1985, Alameda County Community Food Bank is a fast-growing, dynamic organization at the forefront of hunger‐relief efforts in the Bay Area. As one of the most efficient, direct-impact organizations in the country, few nonprofits are as well-respected – or make such an impact on the community – than us. The Food Bank ranks among the top 2% of nonprofits nationwide by Charity Navigator and was recently voted “Best Charity in the East Bay” by East Bay Express. The Food Bank serves 116,000 people each month – primarily children and seniors – and distributes enough food for 28 million meals through our innovative programming and our extensive network of 267 food pantries, soup kitchens and other community partner organizations. We’re forward thinkers who encourage innovation in our work. We change lives and we’re having fun doing it! For more information, please visit accfb.org.

Impactful partnerships are rooted in a shared value of improving our communities. We're grateful to Koret Foundation for their decades of support.
“There’s sort of this false impression that the pandemic is over, but food security is very important.” Thank you Jessica Flores and the San Francisco Chronicle for highlighting our $2.2 million investment in Bay Area food banks and programs addressing food insecurity in our region. Read the full article below, featuring Koret Senior Program Officer Ashley Rich Rodwick, Alameda County Community Food Bank, and Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. https://lnkd.in/gGEuZe7J

Each February ACCFB celebrates Black History Month by uplifting the powerful history and contributions of the Black community here in Alameda County and beyond. ✊🏿 Without the dedicated and hard-fought work of Black people and organizations like the Black Panther Party, who laid the foundation for children’s breakfast programs and food banks as we know them today, our work simply wouldn’t be possible. We’re proud to work with countless food distribution partners throughout the county that carry on that legacy today. Your contributions, voice, and volunteer efforts are critical to our mission and ability to continue this legacy. If you’re looking for inspiration this month, check out our Staff Book Recommendations: https://lnkd.in/g2T6M7NN
