How You
Can Help CAFB
and our Member Food Banks Fight Hunger
Here are just a few ways
that you may assist:
Make a Tax Deductible
Donation. Donating money helps the food bank
buy food items that aren't donated, and help s move
food out to people who need it most. Your
contribution is tax deductible.
Make a Donation When
You do Your State Taxes. You now have the
chance to turn one of your least favorite activities
into a way to help feed hungry people. As you
fill out your state tax form, make a contribution to
the Emergency Food Assistance Fund, listed under
Voluntary Contributions. The funds will be used
to purchase food for hungry families throughout
California.
Volunteer Your Time to
Your Local Food Bank.
Food bank volunteers come from many different
walks of life, ages and life experiences. Your
local food bank depends on volunteers to do the job of
feeding the hungry in your community.
