SANTA BARBARA — The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County worked with over 300 nonprofits and programs countywide (one of them isyour favorite) in 2015 to help serve the community by providing healthy food and produce.
“Without the support of the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County we would not be able to provide our members with meals and healthy snack options when schools are out of session,” said Ashlyn Shrahle, Club Director, United Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara County.
The Foodbank transforms health by eliminating hunger and food insecurity through good nutrition and food literacy through its award-winning programs and the network of 300 member non-profit partners.
“We distribute 9.7 million pounds of food annually, half of which is produce,” said Eric Talkin, Foodbank CEO. “Because of our commitment to health and community wellness, the Foodbank subsidizes 100% of its non-profit partners’ produce needs and the costs associated (purchasing, transportation and storage) to distribute 4.85 million of produce annually through its partners.”
