Hunger in Placer County |

 |
The Placer Food Bank has been distributing food and nourishing our community since our beginning as the Community Resource Council in 1970. The organization was founded to provide services to low-income and needy individuals and families in Roseville and surrounding areas. Early on, the Community Resource Council focused on providing a wide range of services to anyone in need, whatever that need might be. From providing help in obtaining a driver’s license or social security card, to providing food or clothing to someone in need, thousands of families have been touched by the services provided by our organization. In 1985, the Community Resource Council began to operate as a Food Bank and our responsibilities and outreach to the hungry experienced rapid growth. In 2008 another milestone was reached, and the Community Resources Council officially became known as the Placer Food Bank. Today, we provide food to more than 48,000 hungry people in Placer, El Dorado and Nevada Counties every month through our network of 46 charitable feeding agencies. |
