Agency Clearinghouse Program

The Agency Clearinghouse fulfills our mission “to lead community efforts in the awareness and elimination of hunger in Monterey County” by serving as the primary food resource to a network of 90 Monterey County non-profit agencies that serve the elderly, chronically ill, homeless, unemployed and working poor. Member agencies include churches’ food outreach ministries; emergency food pantries; soup kitchens; services to the homebound; homeless shelters; rehabilitation centers; residential treatment programs; youth and senior programs.

A recent survey of these agencies indicated an increased reliance on the Food Bank since the past year. We learned that on average, the Food Bank supplies 76% of allfood distributed. Agencies received 1,825,181 pounds of food during the last fiscal year and and served 51,468 households.
