Great door prizes are up for grabs and there will be a raffle for all who attend.

The Food Bank was founded in 1975 with the purpose of reducing food waste and alleviating hunger through an efficient, cost-effective, centralized system for collecting and distributing food to people who would otherwise go hungry.
The Food Bank started as a small organization, operating out of a trailer and distributing bread and other perishable food. The Food Bank has grown into a central clearinghouse for food in Contra Costa and Solano counties distributing over 12 million pounds of food per year. The Food Bank now serves more than 132,000 people in need every month.
