Hunger Action Month — CDFA volunteers at Sacramento Food Bank

Several CDFA employees volunteered yesterday at the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services, helping to bag fresh produce and sort non-perishable food items.

September is Hunger Action Month, and CDFA is proud to join forces in the fight against hunger in our community and support those in need, aligning with the agency's commitment through its Ag Vision plan to promote access to healthy food for all Californians.

The Sacramento Food Bank helps provide approximately 3.2 million pounds of food to 320,000 people each month! They're always looking for volunteers to help sort, repack, and distribute food that comes through their distribution center. The Food Bank was founded in 1976 and is the largest hunger relief organization in Sacramento County.
