Bob moved to Dunnigan three years ago after living in Arizona most of his life. He now lives with his brother and his sister-in-law on their ranch, helping to tend to the animals. He is on a fixed income because he relies on Social Security. “Groceries have gotten so expensive,” he says, “and... when I get my check at the beginning of the month I go buy groceries. But without this distribution that check wouldn’t make it through the month.”

“Every little bit helps,” explains Bob, “when I get groceries I bring them home and share them with my brother, and then they make meals and share with their family too. This helps more than just the people sitting here in line.”

Your neighbors like Bob could lose the support they need to make it through the month if Congress does not vote to protect SNAP. Let them know that you care about the Yolo County community and they should vote to PROTECT SNAP! 👉 yolofb.org/ProtectSNAP

🚨 We’re at a critical turning point right now.

The Senate just passed a bill that slashes funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), taking between 6 to 9 billion meals off the table for neighbors facing hunger annually.

Losing access to nutritious food... would be catastrophic for our neighbors in need. But it’s not too late. ⏰

The House of Representatives will have another opportunity to vote before this becomes a reality. Tell your representative: NO CUTS TO SNAP AND MEDICAID! 🗣️

We were so inspired by the opening of the “Food and Justice Stories” exhibition by YoloArts at The Barn Gallery in Woodland! Our executive director, Karen Baker (far left), joined artist Seren Fernandez, Professor Eliza Gregory, and artist Vicky Yoon to celebrate the grand opening this past ...Saturday. 🎉

This project was conceived by Yolo Food Bank in collaboration with Professor Eliza Gregory and the Sac State photography program. The photography shines a light on the people and partnerships working every day to improve food access in Yolo County. Student artists were connected with our partner agencies to document the everyday work of food distribution and care. 📸

The result is a moving visual story of collaboration and community. 💚

The exhibit runs through August 23 at The Barn Gallery. Anyone interested in food, Yolo County, beautiful art, and the power of community should stop by to see it!

Each week, our fleet drivers go across Yolo County to collect food from our donors and deliver them to 61 sites across Yolo County; from Clarksburg to Dunnigan, from West Sac to Winters, and everywhere between. 🚚

In this short video, you’ll meet the people behind the wheel, hear why ...they love their jobs, and see how their work helps feed thousands of neighbors every week. 💚

Right now, Congress is considering cuts to SNAP, the program that helps families in Yolo County and beyond afford groceries. If those cuts go through, more people will face food insecurity and food banks like ours will be stretched even thinner to help the growing number of our community needing ...assistance.

We believe no one should face hunger alone. SNAP provides timely, targeted grocery benefits & helps ensure families with children, older adults, people with disabilities & workers in low-wage jobs can keep food on the table.

🗣️ Now is the time to make your voice heard! Add your name with California Association of Food Banks to support SNAP: send a message to Congress here 👉 yolofb.org/ProtectSNAP

After 15 incredible years as Director of Operations, Corkey Mapalo is stepping into a new chapter at Yolo Food Bank this July 1.

Corkey has been the quiet force behind early mornings, late nights, and a warehouse that never stopped moving. Her leadership made it possible for thousands of ...families to get the food they needed and for the rest of us to do our work with confidence. 😊

Now, she’s channeling her passion into our new Harvest Program, building partnerships with local farmers to bring even more fresh produce to the community. 👩‍🌾

We’re endlessly grateful for all she’s built, and deeply proud that she’ll continue to shape our mission in this next role. 👏

Thank you, Corkey. 💚

We’re feeling the love at Yolo Food Bank! 💜

Board Member Patrice Griffith and her daughter, Kailani, surprised our team with a delicious BBQ lunch, sweet treats and a whole lot of heart. Alongside the food, Patrice brought handwritten notes of gratitude that left everyone smiling.
...
It’s moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to have a board that not only leads with purpose, but shows up with kindness and care.

Thank you, Patrice, for nourishing our bellies and our spirits! ☺️

This Juneteenth, we reflect on the power of community and the importance of showing up for one another.

Service is how we grow together. Sharing food, care, and time helps us build a Yolo County where everyone feels supported and no one goes without.

At Yolo Food Bank, we believe ...every full fridge and shared meal is a step toward a more connected and compassionate community. 💚
