Distributing food is collaborative process
Ann Stevens spoke at the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano 5th Agency Summit

The Reporter, March 30, 2015

Distributing more than 20-million pounds of food a year, in an effective matter, is no simple feat.

One way the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano gets the food to the people we serve is through our direct distribution programs. This means that we give the food directly to the individuals and families in need. However, by collaborating with almost 200 partner agencies, we are able to reach many more people who are food insecure. The Food Bank distributes food to these agencies, who in turn, distribute it to the people they serve.
