Food Drive Begins!
Help the Alameda County Community Food Bank this year by donating food at Jack London Mail, located at 248 Third Street.

The ACCFB is a Second Harvest Food Bank that has been helping people in need since 1985. Through a network of 300 community based organizations, including food pantries and soup kitchens, the Food Bank provides food assistance to 40,000 people each week, including low-income and working poor adults, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, abuse survivors, people living with AIDS, and the homeless.

In addition to food distribution, the Food Bank educates the community about the causes of hunger and poverty, advocates for policies that would improve the lives of low-income people and operates an emergency food referral hotline (1-800-870-3663 (FOOD) in Alameda County).

Requested items include:
Canned vegetables & fruit
Canned meat & fish
Pasta & tomato sauce
Beans
Rice
Peanut Butter
Cereal/Oatmeal
Powdered milk
Nutritional beverages
Pre-packaged meals (nothing frozen!)
