Alameda County Community Food Bank
Company Overview
Alameda County Community Food Bank has achieved notable success in recent years, including being voted 2016 Food Bank of the Year by Feeding America, the nation’s network of food banks.
Alameda County Community Food Bank is a well-established and multi-faceted organization, which has been at the forefront of hunger relief efforts for 32 years. As one of the most efficient, direct-impact organizations in the country, few nonprofits have a bigger impact on the local community than us. We serve 1 in 5 county residents and will provide enough food for 30 million meals this year. We’re forward thinkers who encourage innovation in our efforts. We’re changing lives … we’re proud of our work … and we’re having fun doing it!
Company History
Alameda County Community Food Bank has been in business since 1985 ... with a vision toward a day when we can go out of business. We are the hub of a vast collection and distribution network that provides food for 240 nonprofit agencies in Alameda County. In 2015, the Food Bank distributed 25 million meals -- more than half of the food was fresh fruits and vegetables. Our goal is to ensure every food insecure child, adult and senior in Alameda County knows where their next meal is coming from, by 2018.
Since moving into our permanent facility near the Oakland Airport in 2005 and leading the national food bank movement for a ban on the distribution of carbonated beverages, the Food Bank has ramped up distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables by more than 1,000%.
