Central California Food Bank (CCFB) is a leading hunger-relief nonprofit serving communities across the Central Valley. Their mission is to “transform lives together in the passionate pursuit to end hunger — one meal, one neighbor, one community at a time.” Through programs such as Groceries2Go, mobile food distributions, partnerships with clinics, and logistics support for rural agencies, CCFB provides fresh, nutritious food when and where it’s needed most.
Together, Fresno Mission and Central California Food Bank model how collaboration turns separate efforts into seamless care—not just feeding bodies, but supporting futures.
Hunger is often a foundational barrier for youth in crisis. CCFB ensures that when Our Valley Cares meets kids where they’re hurting, food is never one of the missing pieces.
The Food Bank’s distribution infrastructure and partnerships can be leveraged in OVC-facilitated locations—making it easier for youth and families to receive food alongside counseling, mentoring, and case management.
CCFB’s reach into rural communities (via mobile distributions and agency partnerships) extends OVC’s impact beyond city limits, making sure no child in Our Valley is left behind.
Their strong logistics, bulk purchasing, and food-banking expertise help all partners in the network reduce waste, lower costs, and maximize each dollar’s leverage in the fight against crisis.
As a trusted organization with deep community presence, CCFB amplifies the message that caring for youth in crisis is about meeting both spiritual and physical needs. Their visible role conveys that dignity includes nourishment.
When you support Central California Food Bank through Our Valley Cares, you’re not just giving meals—you’re helping rebuild hope, restore dignity, and change life trajectories for youth in crisis across our Valley.
