Who We Are
Welcome to the judgment-free zone.
As the largest nonprofit provider of basic human needs in Sacramento County, we take our mission one-step further by offering educational opportunities and family support services that allow people who seek support to shape their best tomorrow. We are a place for hope and prosperity, a place where women and men, children and elders, are offered the tools they may need—food, clothes, education, technology, or just plain kindess—as they move toward a path of financial independence and self-sufficiency.
Our Impact
Our work by the numbers
In 2017-18, SFBFS' Partner Agencies had 1,087,719 visits and distributed over 19.5 million pounds of fresh groceries to the community. Our quality groceries come from a variety of sources including donations from local grocery stores, regional farms and the community. But that’s not all we do.
Personal Stories
What it means to be all-in
Read the stories of the incredible people who inspire our work. From our CalFresh Program manager Lorena to 80-year-old volunteer Pat, these are the people who motivate us to create change in Sacramento County.
Lorena’s all-in.
She was a newlywed in a new country. And Lorena will tell you, it was really hard.
Ali’s all-in.
His smile is as big as anyone else’s you will meet (except for those of his kids).
Pat’s all-in.
Pat says she can’t stop volunteering because there are still hungry kids out there.
