Everyone entering the Alameda Food Bank is required to wear a mask while inside the building.

Founded in 1977, the Alameda Food Bank is a non-profit organization that offers assistance to the Alameda community by providing nourishing food in a compassionate and respectful manner with the support of dedicated volunteers and local partners.

We do this by operating a food distribution center that allows individuals in need to obtain the food they need to feed themselves and their families. We also set up mobile pantries at Alameda Housing Authority facilities and donate food to Alameda organizations serving the homeless.

Our staff and volunteers strive to make the experience convenient and comfortable for all those who seek our help. Our generous community donates funds and food to help us meet the needs of our clients.
