The Food Bank for Monterey County

The Food Bank for Monterey County, a certified Feeding America food bank, is the largest supplier of emergency food in Monterey County. We distribute 5 million pounds of food annually.

The national image of our area is one of wealth and beauty. Yet poverty and food insecurity exist in the "Salad Bowl of the World."

The challenge is great and we strive to meet it on a daily basis.

You can help us in our campaign to end hunger by donating, volunteering,
