The COVID-19 crisis has had a devastating impact on our community, and as an essential first-responder, Yolo Food Bank is on the front lines providing disaster relief. Over the past four months, demand for food assistance has grown by more than 60%, and Yolo Food Bank has responded by:

• Launching weekly emergency food home delivery and other food access programs dedicated to more than 6,000 vulnerable low-income senior citizens and health-compromised residents who must isolate.
• Adding eight additional food distributions, for a total of nearly 130 food access events supported by Yolo Food Bank each month throughout Yolo County.
• Delivering daily meals to at-risk homeless individuals sheltered from virus spread by the county and local cities in motel rooms.
• Adapting food access sites to meet physical distancing protocols and introducing contactless, drive-through services to ensure the health of our staff, volunteers, and the community whom we serve.

Your support for the Yolo Food Bank COVID-19 Relief Fund ensures full cupboards and nourished bellies in Yolo County in this unprecedented time of need. We are grateful for your meaningful gift today.
