Food Bank

As the designated Food Bank for Shasta County, we are a member of Second Harvest, the largest Food Bank in the United States. This enables us to purchase bulk food at a low cost to share with community food lockers. Included in the programs housed by our Food Bank are the Senior Brown Bag Program, EFAP- the Emergency Food Assistance Program, and the Emergency Food Program.

Senior Brown Bag Program

The Brown Bag Program serves low-income seniors aged 60 or older. Each month two bags of nutritious food are distributed at eleven distributuion sites located throughout Shasta & Siskiyou County. Membership donation is $20.00 annually.

We are always in need of brown and plastic grocery bags . By donating your bags you are supporting senior programs as well as using a great way to recycle!
