Make a Donation
If you, your company, or organization can donate equipment and other
tangible items, it can be immediately be used to fight hunger. There is
also a need for specialty services and volunteer labor. Look and see how
you can help get the food to the hungry of Sacramento.
All of the Emergency Food Providers are listed aphabetically within each
category. If you would like to learn more about the Food Closets in your
area, our District information will be available shortly.
If you are a Emergency Food Provider, please contact
us with your needs.
