Our Mission

About Madera County Food Bank

The Madera County Food Bank was established in 1999. We are an organization who tries to meet the food needs of Madera County. Our organization operates on a great number of volunteers. Volunteers are very important to the success of the food bank. Individuals who volunteer gain a great understanding on many of the programs that we offer. As a food bank we try to reach out to any person or family in need of food. We also have programs that are intended to reach out to our senior citizens of Madera County. There are also different food give-a-ways that are held at the food bank. The food bank holds a Thanksgiving and Christmas food give-a-way every year. We here at the Madera County Food Bank, also try to partner up with agencies and organizations to assure that the residents of Madera County do not go without food.
