When Christy and her husband moved from Charlotte, NC, to Yolo County in 2019, she started looking for a place to volunteer. “Volunteering has always been important to me,” she says, “and I’ve really enjoyed the community I’ve joined. I love this! These people I work with are awesome, and... I leave at the end feeling like I am making an impact.” 😊

She knows the food she helps sort and distribute matters. “Every time I come, I hope the lines will be shorter,” Christy admits, “but there are more people who need help.” Her message to the community is simple: “Donations make a huge difference. We just need to keep believing we can make a difference,” she says with a smile before getting back to packing produce for her neighbors. 💚

This summer, Yolo Food Bank teamed up with Sheila Allen, County Supervisor for the 4th District, to bring more than just food to Yolo County Housing’s migrant centers in Davis, Madison, and Dixon.

Through our Cultivo Program, we’ve been delivering fresh produce and pantry staples to ...these centers since the spring harvest season began. When Supervisor Allen’s office joined the opening day at the Davis Migrant Center in April, they saw an opportunity to do even more by making sure families had better access to menstrual hygiene products.

“I am so grateful to Karen (second from right) and her team for jumping into action,” Allen said, after working with us to provide 292 pounds of menstrual hygiene products for families in Davis, Madison, and Dixon.

“It was a huge success,” she added, “and we look forward to continuing this partnership to provide menstrual hygiene products to all who need them.” 💚

Crates of fresh organic tomatoes from Durst Organic Growers have arrived in the Yolo Food Bank warehouse and are headed to upcoming community food distributions. Jim and Deborah Durst have been growing organic tomatoes in Capay Valley for over 35 years, and their support for Yolo Food Bank runs ...deep. 🍅

“When we are working with Yolo Food Bank, we become part of a community of people with ethics, character, and a true love in their hearts,” says Jim. 💚

We’re so grateful for partners like the Dursts who help nourish our neighbors year after year. 😊

On July 1, a fireworks facility in the Esparto area exploded, causing widespread evacuations and power outages. Tragically, seven lives were lost. While most homes had power restored by July 10, a few families, including those in rural areas, faced a second week without electricity. Many were ...unable to store or prepare food safely.

Yolo Food Bank and Yolo County Health & Human Services Agency came together to deliver fresh produce, pantry staples, and $150 grocery gift cards to those most affected. We also sent extra groceries to Esparto RISE, Inc to help the whole community. 💚

“It’s only through trusted partnerships that we can truly care for our neighbors in times of crisis,” shared HHSA Director Monica Morales. 🤝
