Madera County Food Bank is here for those who need assistance, especially when they go through a rough patch and need that extra help until they can get back on their feet.
And this may come as a surprise, but we could always use that extra help, especially in our warehouse. Our warehouse is the lifeblood that keeps us churning to provide fresh foods. That’s why we’re glad to have people like Frank Gradillas, who brings his years of experience to manage our warehouse here at Madera County Food Bank. Frank is a huge asset, and we’re glad to have him working with us.
