Get Involved

There are many ways to give back and support our community. Whether you're a longtime supporter or looking for ways to get involved, here are some options:

Support the San Joaquin County Food Recovery Hub Project

For over five decades, the Emergency Food Bank has stood as a pillar of hope in San Joaquin County, providing vital food assistance to individuals and families facing hardship. But the need is growing. Today, we serve more people than ever before, battling food insecurity and its devastating impact on our community. To meet this urgent need and build a stronger, healthier future for all, we are launching the "San Joaquin County Food Recovery Hub" Capital Campaign. This campaign will fund a crucial expansion project, empowering us to reach more people, provide more nutritious food and expand our life-changing programs. CLICK HERE to see our vision.
