Why is CAFB a great community investment?

Charity Navigator awarded us four stars, their highest rating.

We set the standard among the national food bank network for the efficient and effective capture of, handling of and distribution of food. We return 96 percent of all donated resources back to the community in programs and food distribution.

We've been able to respond to the increased demand by developing new ways of managing operations and capturing and transporting food.  

• In the past 12 months, CAFB trucks traveled the equivalent of around the world 12 times delivering food.
• Every day, CAFB delivers the equivalent of the weight of a Boeing 737 jet in food.
• In the past 12 months, 19,000 people volunteered with CAFB, donating 93,000 hours.

All financial contributions are tax-deductible. View the donation policies & FAQ.
