Your philanthropic donations make it possible for The Foodbank to distribute over 45 million pounds of highly nutritious food to hundreds of certified charitable agencies
As a result of the philanthropic donations we receive, we provide organizations with the food to feed hundreds of thousands of hungry people. Each week 68 out of every 100 people served are children, and 19 out of every 100 are seniors.
In its 41st year of service, The Foodbank of Southern California is operating at peak efficiency providing $28 worth of food for every $1 you donate. Nationwide this figure is unprecedented and remains unmatched in food banking today. The National average is $9.
The Foodbank prides itself in only asking you for the philanthropic support it needs to efficiently conduct its programs and services.
The Foodbank’s administrative operations are geared to maximize funding so that community dollars go directly to feeding the hungry. The Foodbank does not raise funds to pay for high salaries, over inflated budgets, or flashy inappropriate overhead expenses; 85 cents of every dollar you donate goes directly to feeding the hungry, while 15 cents is used for administration.
