At the Redwood Empire Food Bank, we believe that combating hunger in our community requires a collective effort. Partnering with other hunger-relief organizations throughout our region is essential in fortifying our food safety net. Our vast network of partners plays a crucial role in this mission, helping us ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
With the support of our dedicated partner organizations, we have created a powerful network that reaches every corner of Sonoma County, as well as neighboring counties, including Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte. Our partners are as diverse as the communities they serve, ranging from pantries and dining rooms to shelters, group homes, and childcare facilities. These individuals and organizations work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with food insecurity.

Working Together, Making an Impact
Collaboration is at the core of what we do, as our partners in Sonoma County and beyond acquire food from our Food Connections Market, a discounted wholesale market supporting their essential programs. Each year, the Redwood Empire Food Bank provides these organizations with $24 million worth of food, ensuring they can continue their vital work in the fight against hunger, making a meaningful impact one meal at a time.
A partnership with the Redwood Empire Food Bank means that your program will reinforce our hunger relief efforts by supplying the ingredients for a well-balanced provision of help that includes protein, produce, and shelf-stable items. Once established, we provide the necessary support to ensure our partners implement a robust and consistent hunger relief program. For more information about partnership expectations, please refer to our Partnership Handbook.
Partners must have 501(c)(3) exemption status. Click HERE to enter your EIN to determine your eligibility status. (Note: must be PC or Group Type)

Above and beyond
“The Redwood Empire Food Bank goes above and beyond to support us in our mission to offer food for both every day and disasters, across Sonoma, Lake, and Mendocino Counties, even outside business hours when it’s crucial.”
—Frankie Ditlevson from Catholic Charities, Santa Rosa, CA
