Our Services

We provide fresh, nutritious food to individuals and families in need across Mendocino County through collecting, transporting, storing, and distributing food.

Our warehouse in Willits enhances our food storage capacity and serves as our hub for food receiving and distribution. Partner agencies are able to pantry "shop", and every 1st Thursday individuals can attend a food pop-up.

We collaborate with local farmers, grocers, and businesses to source high-quality fresh produce, dairy, and pantry staples for our food distribution programs.

We partner with 33 food banks, pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers, and more across Mendocino County, bringing them quality food for distribution in their local communities.

Feeding Mendocino County

The Mendo Food Network served nearly 18,000 individuals last year, or 20% of the population of Mendocino County. That means 1 in 5 people you know in your community rely on emergency or supplemental food support. Join us in our mission to feed Mendocino County, and be the lifeline support your neighbor needs.

The 2025 Season of Sharing

The Mendo Food Network is incredibly grateful for our community's support this year through our Turkey Challenge and Season of Sharing campaigns.

Announcement

$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
