Acts as a food sourcing and distribution hub (groceries, farm produce, prepared meals, food manufacturers) for food insecure Berkeley residents (housed and unhoused) in partnership with Alameda County Food Bank and a network of local community organizations.
Please make sure to contact the organization to confirm if they can accept your donation.
