Why Donate to Foodlink?

By donating to Foodlink, multiple agencies benefit!

Food donated to Foodlink is made available to our 140 partner agencies who come to Foodlink to receive food and then distribute in the community.  Foodlink is able to use monetary donations to bulk buy nutritious food items.  By purchasing foods in large amounts, Foodlink is able to stretch resources further, making more food available to the hungry in Sacramento County.
