Food for the Holidays + Food Banks
Chapa-De Indian Health Auburn Grass Valley | Medical Clinic
The holidays can be a time to celebrate and enjoy the company of friends and family. They can also be stressful. Especially for those facing food insecurity. There are many food and meal resources to help both individuals and families. This includes special holiday programs, as well as year-round services.
211 Connecting Point
211 Connecting Point is a great way to find resources and aid. 211 Connecting Point, or 211, is a database of the many service programs and agencies in our area. Many counties use 211 to connect people with resources. This includes Placer County, Nevada County, and Tahoe/Truckee. 211 offers a searchable web page to find information online. They also have a 24/7 local call center. 211 is available all year-round. It is regularly updated to include new programs and services.
