Our Public Community Food Distribution site in West Sacramento continues a tradition of nourishing the community; one that started long before today. 😊

The West Capitol Ave location, where volunteers provide groceries every weekend to their neighbors, once housed "Farmer's Market," a locally owned grocery store that opened on July 8, 1953.

Our communities have always found ways to feed themselves and it’s inspiring to see that, while many things change, our community remains connected in wonderful ways. 💚 ... See MoreSee Less
