Here’s what we do during a disaster:

Work in lock-step with the food bank in the impacted area, helping them get what they need. This often includes:
- Securing and delivering food (especially fruits like apples / oranges, water, and no-cook foods)
- Connect with the State to make sure the food bank can quickly received State Emergency Food Program boxes, and coordinate any other necessary response efforts
- Elevate and amplify communications
- Harness and direct donations — whether it be dollars or truckloads
Work with our CalFresh Outreach partners to implement Disaster CalFresh, this means
- Ensuring outreach partners know program details, updates, and timelines
- Translating materials to meet the language needs of the community
- Raising awareness of applications windows and eligibility
Work with our network of food banks to offer mutual aid to the impacted food bank, from extra hands to extra food.
