Larry Sly, Executive Director – Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano Counties
An alarming 1 in 8 people within Contra Costa and Solano counties turn to the Food Bank for emergency and supples. The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano Counties has been serving the community for over 40 years by feeding neighbors in need, reducing food waste, and raising public awareness about issues related to food and hunger. Our efforts would not be as far reaching if it were not for our selfless volunteers who generously donate almost 100,000 hours a year. There are different shifts and tasks within Contra Costa and Solano counties
to accommodate a variety of schedules and abilities. You CAN make a difference to the 1 in 8 residents in our community who turn to the Food Bank for help.
