Feeding Mendocino County

Through our network of partners, volunteers, and donors, we strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those struggling to put food on the table.

It's Hunger Action Month!

We're matching up to $5,000 in donations, thanks to our generous donors.

The Mendo Food Network collaborates with hunger relief organizations spanning the entire county, with a special emphasis on remote and rural areas, creating a nutritional safety net that serves the entire community.

Our Network provides regular distributions of 20-30 pounds of seasonally sourced fruits and vegetables, along with healthy staple foods, to those in high-need neighborhoods. We believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, and our distributions are open to anyone in need of assistance.

Through our network of partners, these distributions take place in food banks, pantries, soup kitchens, community centers, health clinics, senior housing complexes, low-income apartments, and churches. We are committed to supporting our community in every way possible, and we are inspired by the progress we are making together.

Give Mendocino County families in need a holiday meal.

Every donation of $200 or more is matched by our generous sponsors, doubling the impact!

$30,000 in 30 Days August Campaign!

This August, the Mendo Food Network is sharing on our website and social media daily posts to highlight how much further a donor's dollar goes in our hands.

With our bulk, wholesale purchasing power, a single dollar can stretch on average 8 times as far! Every day, we're posting an example, from fresh produce to canned goods, that highlights the difference between the retail price and our cost for our most frequently purchased food items.

Help us make a bigger impact with your money by donating directly to the Mendo Food Network at www.mendofood.org/donate (http://www.mendofood.org/donate). Follow along throughout this campaign on Facebook and Instagram, @mendofoodnetwork
