Placer Food Bank

Description

• The Placer Food Bank has been distributing food and nourishing our community since our beginning as the Community Resource Council in 1970. The organization was founded to provide services to low-income and needy individuals and families in Roseville and surrounding areas.Early on, the Community Resource Council focused on providing a wide range of services to anyone in need. From providing help in obtaining a drivers license or social security card, to providing food or clothing, thousands of families were touched by the services of our organization.In 1985, the Community Resource Council began to operate as a Food Bank and our responsibilities and outreach to the hungry experienced rapid growth. In 2008 another milestone was reached, and the Community Resources Council officially became known as the Placer Food Bank. Soon after the drastic economic downturn in 2009, the need for Placer Food Bank services tripled and we found ourselves out of space at our small location, and the search for new office and warehouse space began.We relocated to our present location in 2010, and now distribute more than 6 million pounds of food each year to hunger-relief organizations in Placer, El Dorado and Nevada Counties.Hunger is an all but hidden epidemic in Placer Food Banks communities. Nearly 80,000 individuals in Placer, Nevada and El Dorado Counties do not know where there next meal will come from.More often than not, the hungry are hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet. Many are forced to choose between paying for rent, medicine, or transportation and buying food; missing daily meals or going without food for days.Learn more about the Placer Food Bank, it's programs and how you can help at www.placerfoodbank.orgVisit us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/placerfoodbankFollow us on Twitter: @placerfoodbank
