National Food Bank Day

Chapa-De Indian Health Auburn Grass Valley | Medical Clinic

Since 2017, the first Friday of September has been recognized as National Food Bank Day. We want to take this chance to discuss food banks, and the important role they play in keeping the community healthy. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, up to 54 million people in the United States may face hunger. Food banks can help!

What is a Food Bank?

Food banks and food pantries are different types of organizations. Food banks are larger and handle collecting and storing donated food. Food banks then distribute the food to smaller organizations, the food pantries. The food pantries distribute the food directly those in need. Food banks are able to collect and store larger quantities of food that smaller organizations would not be able to access or handle. Food banks help make sure all communities have access to food. No matter the size of the community!
