What will it take end hunger in Alameda County for good?
Every child, adult, and senior should have the opportunity to reach their full potential and live vibrant, productive lives. To achieve this, our community and our economy must be inclusive of all.
Centered on these beliefs, we work year-round with every level of government to end hunger and poverty. Whether we’re testifying at state budget hearings, sharing our stories directly with legislators, or mobilizing communities to vote, we rely on a powerful group of community advocates and volunteers to amplify all of our voices.
The movement is stronger with you in it. Join us.
Our work is rooted in the soil. People depend on food banks, and food banks depend on farmers and farmworkers. It is our responsibility to invest in this relationship with an equity lens. ACCFB is projected to spend $21 million in procurement in FY21. Our food purchasing budget presents an opportunity to operationalize equity by allocating dollars to Black and Brown farmers.
This video features Will Scott Jr, owner of Scott Family Farms and founder of the African American Farmers of California in Fresno, CA. We hope you will contact us at advocate[at]accfb . org to partner or share thoughts on how we can promote equity in our procurement practices.
