CAPSBC FOOD BANK

The Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County Food Bank serves over 50,000 hungry persons each month. We do so with the help of over 156 affiliate agencies such as churches, schools, soup kitchens and senior centers. The food is provided through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food commodities, salvaged food from supermarkets, and by food drives sponsored by local businesses, schools, groups and clubs.
