We are deeply grateful to First Citizens Bank for their commitment to creating a stronger, healthier community for all.

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one neighbor at a time. ❤

This May, we’re proud to celebrate Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op and recognize them as a longtime River City Food Bank Community Partner during their Member Month! ❤

Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op continues to go above and beyond in supporting our community. From volunteering and donating food to sponsoring events and supporting food access initiatives, the Co-op consistently shows what it means to be a true community partner and neighbor.

Through their Round Up at the Register program, Co-op shoppers help support River City Food Bank and provide healthy groceries for neighbors facing hunger throughout Sacramento County.

The Co-op also helps make nutritious food more accessible by offering discounts for shoppers receiving CalFresh benefits - helping families stretch their grocery budgets while continuing to purchase healthy food.

We’re incredibly grateful for Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op, their members, and their customers for continuing to show what neighbors helping neighbors truly looks like.

Thank you for helping keep our community safety net strong.

Every distribution day begins because someone chose to care. 💛

When you sponsor a Distribution Day at River City Food Bank, you're doing more than making a donation - you’re helping ensure that hundreds of neighbors have access to healthy, meaningful groceries when they need them most.

For families facing rising food costs, seniors living on fixed incomes, veterans, students, and individuals working hard to make ends meet, your sponsorship helps keep food on the table and hope within reach.

Anyone can sponsor - individuals, families, businesses, faith communities, or civic groups. Sponsor in honor of a loved one, celebrate a milestone, recognize your employees, or make a lasting investment in your community.

No volunteering is required - your support alone makes this impact possible. Already volunteering? Sponsoring a day is a powerful way to deepen your impact.

How it works:
• Choose your giving level: $500 or $1,000
• Select your preferred site and date
• We'll take care of the rest

Your generosity helps create a day of dignity, nourishment, and community for the neighbors we serve.

Food assistance is changing. Do you know how the new CalFresh rules may affect you?

Recent changes to CalFresh include new Work & Community Engagement Requirements for some recipients. Understanding who is affected, what exemptions may apply, and how to maintain benefits can be confusing - but you don't have to navigate these changes alone.

River City Food Bank's CalFresh Outreach team is here to help answer questions, explain eligibility requirements, assist with applications and recertifications, and connect you to resources that can help put healthy food on the table.

Whether you're currently receiving CalFresh or wondering if you qualify, now is the time to learn more.

📞 Call our CalFresh Outreach team at 916-233-4075 for free assistance.

Wishing peace, joy, and togetherness to all those celebrating Eid al-Adha. 💛

Eid is a time of reflection, generosity, community, and sharing meals with loved ones - values that deeply resonate with the work we do every day at River City Food Bank.

As families and communities gather in celebration, we extend our warmest wishes to our Muslim neighbors, guests, volunteers, and supporters observing this meaningful holiday.

Eid al-Adha Mubarak from all of us at River City Food Bank.
