Food Bank For Monterey County

Food Bank for Monterey County works to reduce hunger and improve community health through nutritious food, fresh produce, and nutrition education. It serves as a distribution hub connecting local nonprofit partners with food and resources for people experiencing food insecurity.

Its Emergency Food Assistance Program provides supplemental food at no cost through federally supported distribution sites. The organization also operates Kids N.O.W., which provides children with food to take home during weekends and school breaks. Through food-rescue partnerships with farms, grocers, and retailers, the Food Bank redirects wholesome food to people in need.
