Redwood Empire Food Bank

Introduced by: JB Leep

Mr. Goodman will talk about the efforts of the Redwood Empire Food Bank in our community.

People are in need for one of two reasons, decisions they have made or circumstances beyond their control. In either case, hunger cannot be the price they pay.

REFB acquires food and distributes it through a network of charitable agencies and its own food assistance programs and also provides food to Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte Counties through smaller food banks. In addition, the REFB advocates for legislation to provide long-term solutions to hunger in its community.

REFB serves some 78,000 hungry Sonoma County residents each month.
