How Donations are Used

Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services uses cash donations to purchase items for individuals in need.

Due to the great partnerships with local vendors, SFBFS is able to leverage funds to turn every $1 donated into $10 worth of products and services for the Sacramento community.

Great examples of how your donations help families in need:

  • $10 = 20 articles of clothing for 5 people (Clothing program)
  • $20 = 5 day supply of quality, healthy groceries for 4 families of 4 members each (Food Assistance program)
  • $50 = 8 classes of art education for 4 students (Women’s Wisdom Art program)
  • $100 = parenting workshops, infant formula, diapers, and clothing for 4 sets of parents and their infants (Mother-Baby program)
  • $500 - 1 week of technology-based after school activities for 15 children (Computer Clubhouse program)
