Food for the Hungry

Feed the Hungry

Help us feed the hungry


Food For The Hungry is the only active food bank for Southeast Central Tehama County. We depend, as do many other food banks, on our holiday food drives to support not only our holiday food boxes but boxes throughout the year. Our program operates on volunteer help, community food donations and some monetary gifts. None of the donations are used for administration or operating expenses. 100% goes to the families we serve. Throughout the year, we deliver the food boxes to the homes. We do not ask the needy to drive to a location to pick up. Only at Christmas when we have larger groups of families do we request them to come to our church pick-up sites. It that is not possible, we will still deliver to the home.

Our program is listed as a food resource with Social Services and on the 211 list. Salvation Army also refers Southeast County families to us. Also calling on the program’s help are schools, and community members and businesses. We ask each family of their situation so that we may be able to counsel or provide them with other resources to help. We do not require any complicated paperwork but restrict our food boxes to two times in six months. Our program is non-profit through the Los Molinos United Methodist which administers our monetary donations and food expenses. These funds are kept in a dedicated fund that can only be used for our program. Cone United Methodist also partners with us as volunteer help and food donations. 

We like to especially help the families from our local schools at Christmas time and appreciate referrals and the work that school secretaries do to provide us with good phone numbers and addresses. We like to remind all that the names of families and their information is kept confidential and is not shared with other agencies. In  2019, we served 334 family units.
