Volunteers at Capital Area Food Bank
Capital Area Food Bank

The Capital Area Food Bank is committed to staying open during the Covid-19 emergency, and they need the community’s help. 

Here’s what you can do today: 

Make a financial donation at https://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/donate/  Here’s how your contribution will enable CAFB to supply food to our most vulnerable neighbors: 

  • Help increase direct distribution of food through pop-up pantries where they give out 25-pound boxes of shelf stable items, each able to feed a family of four for up to five days. 
  • Provide grab-and-go meals for children who normally participate in their after school-meals program. 
  • Reach seniors in need through their Grocery Plus, My Groceries to Go and Senior Brown Bag locations that remain open to provide seniors with supplemental groceries. 
  • Continue to supply food to “Community Hubs” - their nonprofit partners such as soup kitchens, shelters, and other non-profit organizations who are feeding the hungry. 

Here’s one more way to help:  If you are healthy, consider volunteering to help CAFB  pack thousands of boxes of shelf stable food for distribution each day. It’s  a great option for giving back while still maintaining social distance.  https://volunteer.capitalareafoodbank.org/
