Cash or Checks Help Keep Programs Healthy!

Food Drive: Plan a food drive at your work, church or community organization. Call Kristine Gibson, Community Outreach Manager, at the Emergency Food Bank and she will make sure you get flyers, shopping lists and barrels to put the food in. The food bank will bring the barrel(s) to you and pick them up when you are finished with your food drive.

Produce: We are always in need of fresh produce. We hand out fresh fruits and vegetables from our Mobile Farmer's Market, which currently goes to over 35 locations around San Joaquin County, as well as at our main pantry at 7 W. Scotts Avenue. We take all types of fresh produce, which our clients love, so if you have some please give us a call at 464-7369.

The Feinstein Challenge: All donations receive from March 1st through April 30th, 2009 and earmarked for the Feinstein Challenge can earn the Emergency Food Bank more money. All you need to do is either send us a monetary donation, have a food drive or just bring us a food donation and tell us it's for the Feinstein Challenge. The more we receive the more money we can get from the Feinstein Foundation. For more information please call Kristine Gibson at the Emergency Food Bank at 464-7369.
