Mission
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is ending hunger and transforming the Health of Santa Barbara County through good nutrition.
About the Foodbank
The Foodbank celebrates its 30th anniversary as a non-profit organization that works to eliminate hunger by distributing food, education, and other resources to a network of 290 member non-profit agencies and programs in Santa Barbara County. In 2011, the Foodbank distributed more than 11 million pounds of food, of which half was fresh produce. This served over 102,000 unduplicated people from Carpinteria to Santa Maria, an amazing 1 in 4 people in our county. In addition to supporting a vast network of member agencies, the Foodbank is a leader in providing a range of innovative and nationally recognized programs such as the Kid's Farmers Market Program, Backyard Bounty Program, Brown Bag program, Picnic in the Park Program, Grow Your Own Way Program and Healthy School Pantry Program.
