Rigel Stuhmiller 2018 Farmer’s Market Calendar. See below for more information. 

The holidays are one of the busiest times of year for the Food Bank, as demand spikes and we need all the support we can get.

Luckily, dozens of local businesses make it super simple to donate while you’re out and about. Whether you’re out picking up dinner or getting a head start on holiday shopping, it couldn’t be easier to support the Food Bank and ensure everyone in our community has enough healthy food—this holiday season and beyond.

While you’re out grocery shopping…

Whole Foods Market: Nourish a family while shopping at your local Whole Foods Market by donating at the register or dropping healthy food into the bins.

Safeway: Through the end of the year, purchase a pre-filled, nutritious bag of food for just $10. Just rip off a ticket at the store entrance and hand it to your cashier.

Lucky and FoodMaxx: Fund a meal by simply picking up a meal coupon and handing it over at the register.

Berkeley Bowl: Drop a healthy non-perishable item in one of our food drive barrels on your way out.

While you’re getting a head start on holiday shopping…

The Gardner: On Saturday, December 9th, The Gardner will donate 5 percent of all sales to Bay Area Food Banks.
