Placer Food Bank Information

Placer, Nevada and El Dorado Counties are some of the most affluent in our region. Hunger can’t be here, can it? It can and it’s called Hidden Hunger. More than 80,000 of our local friends, neighbors and family members don’t know where their next meal is coming from. It could be your restaurant server or grocery store clerk. The senior two doors down or the Sierra College student choosing books over lunch. If you lost your income tomorrow, it could be you. Hunger in our community looks just like...you. Hidden Hunger is in plain sight. Hunger isn’t going anywhere and neither is the Placer Food Bank. For 50 years, the Placer Food Bank has made meaningful progress towards ending hunger but our mission is far from complete. We continue to fill food pantries, send students home with groceries to last the weekend, and stretch every $1 of groceries to $8, thanks to our generous partners, volunteers and sponsors. And you know what? These donors in our community look just like… you. We have this unwavering belief that Hidden Donors can solve Hidden Hunger in our community. Every dollar donated becomes three meals for a neighbor in need, so $25 today means 75 meals tomorrow, $100 becomes 300 meals and so on. Join us in helping the Hidden Hunger in our community by finding the Hidden Donor in you.
