Dutch Bros Coffee has graciously donated $6,880 to Yolo Food Bank as a result of the Dutch Luv promotion last Friday. This is a cumulative total combining the dollars raised from drink sales, as well as any additional donations received from customers at the window. 🥤 ☕

We continue to... be inspired by the the support of our partners and our neighbors. Any time that our Yolo County community gets a chance to support the mission of Yolo Food Bank, they show up in a big way! 💚

Yolo Food Bank’s operations facility will be closed and our food assistance programs and distributions will be paused on Monday, February 17 for the federal Presidents’ Day holiday. On Tuesday, February 18, our facility will be open and our programming and distributions will resume.

We've got even more veggies in our future! 🥦 🥬

Our long-time partners at Durst Organic Growers are working with a student from Winters High School, Miles Mariani, on his senior capstone project. Miles has written up contract agreements for local farmers to provide fresh produce... to Yolo Food Bank for community food distributions this spring.

In January, Durst planted broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower so it will be ready in a few months for harvest. Overall, the food Miles has procured totals more than $43,500 in produce for distribution. What an amazing impact they are having on our community! 😊

We appreciate Jim and Deborah Durst's continued partnership as a food donor and personal supporters of Yolo Food Bank and we are so happy that Miles is continuing the legacy of community support with his wonderful project! 💚

On Monday, February 17, our food assistance programs will be paused and our Main Office will be closed in observance of President’s Day. Our Main Office will reopen on Tuesday, February 18 and the affected distribution at Home Church will resume next Monday, February 24.

Our Volunteer Spotlight today is Evelyn!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟

Evelyn talked with us at the Winters High School Public Community Food Distribution as she checked in drive-up recipients before they received their groceries. She comes from Davis to help with her husband Martin and started ...volunteering three years ago. “I knew that during COVID there was more need for help, and so I started helping Yolo Food Bank. I have been coming ever since.”

Evelyn enjoys talking to all the recipients as they check in and now recognizes some people from week to week as she forms strong connections with the community. “I don’t feel like what I am doing is giving my time,” Evelyn says, “I feel like it is being part of the community.” Her experience volunteering during COVID has lead to her perspective on how important Yolo Food Bank is in addressing food insecurity: “Anyone could need help sometime, so I feel good being able to help when I can.” 😊

We appreciate Evelyn and all of our volunteers! If you are interested in joining us for volunteering check for available roles at the link here 👉 yolofoodbank.galaxydigital.com/
