We’d like to extend our huge thanks to the amazing team at the Target Distribution Center in Woodland! 👏

Meet Alex! 👋

Alex is a Warehouse Associate with us at Yolo Food Bank! He joined the team in April after hearing about a position opening through a friend. Alex is responsible for sorting thousands of pounds of food items that come through Yolo Food Bank every day. He ensures nothing is ...expired, checks for quality, and then sorts the food into groups to be shipped out to our Community Food Distributions and stocked at our Sutter Health Partner Agency Store. 🍅

Alex spoke glowingly about his experience so far, saying, "I love everything about working here. Every morning, I wake up with purpose and feel really good about what I'm doing for my community. I also love the people—there's a real family atmosphere at the food bank that makes me look forward to coming in every day." 🤗

Thank you, Alex, for joining the Yolo Food Bank family. The energy, enthusiasm, and hard work you bring to the workplace every day are greatly appreciated! 💚

Last week, Yolo County Board of Supervisors' Lucas Frerichs and Angel Barajas hosted the second Western Yolo Ag Roundtable, bringing together a diverse group of agricultural community members for an open discussion on addressing the agricultural needs of our community. 🚜

We were ...honored to be invited to present the findings from the "Yolo County Food Access Survey." The engagement and concern shown by both our County Supervisors and community members highlight the critical importance of meeting the needs of our food insecure committee, beginning with our agricultural workers whose food insecurity rate is a staggering 53% as noted in our recent Yolo County Food Access Survey Report. Yolo Food Bank’s “Cultivo” distribution is addressing this need by organizing monthly distributions at directly at their places of employment and residence. 🌽

We want to express our deep gratitude to Supervisor Frerichs and Supervisor Barajas for organizing this event. Their efforts not only highlight their deep concern for Yolo County's agricultural sector but also demonstrate their dedication to finding solutions that benefit all in our community. 💚
