Merced County Food Bank Mission
Our mission is To improve the health and well-being of Merced & Mariposa County residents affected by hunger; through the acquisition, storage, and distribu- tion of nutritious food. To provide and advocate for, increased access to, and consumption of, nutritious fruits, vegetables, nuts and other foods. To integrate, facilitate and advocate for pro- grams and services that address hunger’s under- lying and related issues. We focus our efforts on the immediate distribu- tion of food while simultaneously working on long-term strategies to address the root causes of food insecurity. Together with our partner agencies, volunteers, and supporters, we work to end hunger by pro- viding food directly, improving access to food, and promoting nutrition.
Mcfb serves as a lifeline for our communities. As the agency that acquires, stores, and distributes food, we play a critical role in maintaining and improving the health of our community’s low income, and food insecure populations. Food makes it possible for kids to learn more in school, for adults to perform better at work, and for seniors to stay healthy and active. Food allows people to lead fuller more productive lives. With the community behind us, we can ensure that everyone in Merced & Mariposa Counties can receive the nutritious food they need to thrive.
