Central Valley SDA Church is a partner with Community Food Bank
Community Food Bank serves Fresno, Madera, and Kings counties. These agencies are food pantries, residential shelters, community kitchens, adult and child day care centers, and so much more! Community Food Bank is involved in the solicitation, acquisition, warehousing and distribution of the food that these agencies acquire and serve to those in need. Community Food Bank began in May of 1992, with the name Food Opportunities Organization and Distribution, Inc. (or FOOD, Inc.) through the efforts of a steering committee of the United Way. In 1997 FOOD, Inc. became Community Food Bank, and we have continued to grow ever since.
