Our goal is to create a Berkeley where no one goes hungry. Using an innovative, community-centered approach to food sourcing and distribution, we are providing easy and convenient access to healthy, high-quality free food for people who need it. We source food from the Alameda County Community Food Bank and local food businesses. This includes shelf-stable foods, fresh produce, dairy and eggs, and frozen meat. We source culturally appropriate foods whenever possible. Through our food recovery program, we source additional healthy food that would otherwise go to waste from local food businesses, farms, grocery stores, and restaurants. This program helps feed more people and limits food waste, in turn reducing greenhouse gases. This approach allows us to offer our clients and member organizations a more abundant variety of healthy foods.
