#MemberMonday: Yuba-Sutter Food Bank

Member Mondays are back! This week, we are thrilled to highlight the work of Yuba-Sutter Food Bank. Yuba-Sutter Food Bank is located in Yuba City, California, and has been serving their community for the past 40 years. Here are some exciting things they have been working on!

Update of Facilities & New Truck

The Yuba-Sutter Food Bank had an action-packed 2023 and they are looking forward to a busy and successful 2024. Last year, Yuba-Sutter Food Bank made some impactful and positive changes, including a much-needed update to their facilities and a new truck to aid in their Food Recovery program.

No Empty Bowls

Yuba-Sutter Food Bank recently held their annual fundraiser, “An Evening at the Food Bank: No Empty Bowls,” which featured handmade bowls from Yuba City High School ceramics students. The event highlighted Yuba-Sutter’s wonderful volunteers and staff, and they exceeded their fundraising goals because of the generosity of their community.

Farms Together Program

“Being a CAFB member, we are excited for the opportunity to participate in the Farms Together program, which aims to bring fresh and nutrient-rich local produce to those in need, while also supporting small local farms that are often BIPOC or women-owned. We have been able to see the benefits of this amazing program in just a few short weeks already, and being able to distribute fresh local produce has been a joy!”

Volunteer Coordinator

Volunteers

As Yuba-Sutter Food Bank looks forward to all that 2024 has in store for them, they know that none of it would be possible without the constant support they receive from their donors, volunteers, and community partners. They welcome anyone to partner with them on their mission to end food insecurity in the Yuba-Sutter region!
