The Emergency Food Helpline, the Food Bank's countywide referral program, connects people in need with a bag of groceries or a hot meal in their neighborhood. The Emergency Food Helpline staff and volunteers make more than 3,000 referrals monthly and can assist callers in a wide array of languages.
In addition to referrals to emergency food programs, callers receive information about other programs, such as Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Food Stamps.
Besides the Emergency Food Helpline, the Food Bank operates a Free Summer Lunch Hotline during the summer months for referrals to sites that serve a free summer lunch to children and teens ages 18 and under, and a Holiday Hotline in November and December for referrals to holiday food programs.
