94% of all Redwood Empire Food Bank resources support program activities.
Last year, the Redwood Empire Food Bank provided food to 33,441 at-risk children through our Every Child, Every Day initiative; provided groceries to over 13,606 low-income seniors monthly through our Senior Security initiative; and enough groceries to feed 117,273 individuals monthly through our Neighborhood Hunger Network initiative.
Improving the lives of our community would not be possible without your support. Here are some other ways to give and help those in need.

I’m a prideful person
“I’m sorry you have to see me like this. I’m a prideful person, so this is really difficult for me. I live in my car with my 6 kids and they don’t deserve to be hungry because I’m scared of what people will think of me. But the reason why I called you over is because you and the rest of the staff make me feel so welcome. You always talk to us in such a happy tone and almost make me feel like this is something super normal. Because of the food bank, my kids are eating. And because of that, we owe you our lives. Thank you.”
—Parent of 6 whose family is living in their car (through tears) in Santa Rosa, CA
