Food Industry Donations

The Food Bank welcomes donations from across the food industry – from large manufacturers and retail distributors to small, locally-owned businesses and grocers. Local food industry donations account for over 25% of the food we distribute. Recovering surplus food continues to gain national attention as an easy way to give back, and these donations greatly help us serve the 1 in 4 Alameda County residents who rely on the Food Bank.
