Community Food Bank of San Benito

At Community Food Bank, we don’t just break the norm, we blow it up. Nationwide, food banks share a mix of groceries that’s 80 percent shelf stable and 20 percent fresh. Shelf stable means things like canned goods, dried pasta and dried beans. Here at the center of the fresh produce universe, our market basket is 80 percent fresh almost every week of the year.

It’s only through the generosity of our partner producers that Community Food Bank can meet the challenge of providing our customers with the freshest, healthiest food available. Why not drop by for a look yourself? You’ll find that most of what we are able to share is organic, and all of it is food that any of us would be happy feed our own families.

What is a food bank?

A food bank is a non-profit organization that collects and distributes food to people in their community who have difficulty purchasing enough food to avoid hunger and/or malnutrition. Food banks also offer food to local non-profit organizations whose mission is to help similar people in the community.
