Yolo County is known for its deep agricultural roots and for cultivating a wide array of crops such as tomatoes, almonds, and rice. Yet underneath this abundance there is a hidden challenge: food insecurity. According to Yolo Food Banks’s 2024 Yolo County Food Access Survey Report, nearly one-third of Yolo County residents experience food insecurity. Additionally, in a study from the Public Policy Institute of California, Yolo County was found to be fifty-eighth out of fifty eight counties on the poverty scale.
But those facing this challenge don’t have to face it alone.
With your support, Yolo Food Bank serves an average of 26,500 households in Yolo County each month. Annually, Yolo Food Bank distributes approximately 8.8 million pounds of food at no cost to Yolo County residents. This vital work is powered by over 3,000 dedicated volunteers at our Public Community Food Distributions and the generosity of donors from both within and outside of the county. Additionally, we collaborate with 47 amazing nonprofit partners to ensure even more residents get the nourishment they need.
Yolo County residents and neighbors from surrounding regions have always stepped up for this community. Your continued generosity ensures that no one in Yolo County goes without the nourishment they need. This year’s Big Day of Giving is all about giving back to your community. Every dollar you donate will go towards putting food on your neighbor’s table!

Yolo Food Bank works as a community to meet the food and nutrition needs of Yolo County
Yolo Food Bank is seeing an increase in recipients at many of our food distributions, and that number is projected to rise now that new changes to CalFresh benefits eligibility are being enforced. Additionally, federal funding from the USDA has been further cut back this year, and that means we need the support of our community now more than ever. Every dollar we raise will fund our ability to provide nutritious food to those most in need in Yolo County.
Yolo Food Bank advances food and nutrition security for the people of Yolo County. We are aware that food insecurity affects marginalized groups disproportionately, and it is our mission to fill those gaps by prioritizing the most vulnerable populations. Our organization strives to listen to and acknowledge the strengths and needs of our neighbors and partners, seeking feedback from recipients, volunteers, board members and staff.
