CAPSBC FOOD BANK

The Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County Food Bank serves over 50,000 hungry persons each month. We do so with the help of over 156 affiliate agencies such as churches, schools, soup kitchens and senior centers. The food is provided through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food commodities, salvaged food from supermarkets, and by food drives sponsored by local businesses, schools, groups and clubs.

In the Spotlight Holiday Giving Sponsors:

Henry's Farmers Market
Housing Authority, Coco's Bakery Restaurant, Jiffy Lube &
Four D-College

For the second consecutive year Henry’s has given big to the CAPSBC Food Bank!  Through its “Grab and Give” promotion, generous customers were encouraged to shop for the needy, then after paying for the items, they were deposited in a bin to be collected by the CAPSBC Food Bank!  Nearly 10 tons of food was donated in total!  Three of the local Henry’s stores participated in the promotion, they were the Henry’s  in;  Rancho, Chino Hills and Corona.
Thank you Henry’s! By giving to the CAPSBC Food Bank you guarantee that the food stays in San Bernardino to feed our own!
Thank you!

Henry's Farmers Market-Henry’s Farmers Markets in Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, and Corona stores will be generously sponsored the CAPSBC Food Bank through its “Grab n Give” donation campaign again this past holiday season.  Henry’s donation is unique in that the customer can choose the items that they would like to donate, pay for them at the register, and then place them in the collection area to be donated to the CAPSBC Food Bank. The food drive ran through January the 5th.

Housing Authority-A group of over thrity County Employees with the Housing Authority volunteered at the CAPSBC Food Bank Friday December the 11th 2009.  The volunteers packaged food to go to low income families throughout San Bernardino County.  The Housing Authority generously opted to forgo the traditional holiday party and decided to spend their time and resources by volunteering at the Food Bank instead!   The volunteers packed over 500 bags of food!  And another 200 LBS of food was collected by the employees to go to needy families!
A special thanks to the caring employees of the Housing Authority!

Coco's Bakery Restaurant-Coco’s Pies promotion provided fresh baked pies for hundreds of local soup kitchens and feeding organizations, not to mention needy families!
From San Bernardino, Upland, Rancho, Rialto, Redlands and Victorville and Yucca Valley,  San Bernardino County Coco’s restaurants showed that they have a heart for the needy in the area.  Customers who were making a pie purchase, were asked if they would like to purchase an extra pie to go to the CAPSBC Food Bank.  At the end of the day the individual Coco’s restaurant would bake all of the pies to be picked up by the Food Bank and distributed to area feeding sites.  Hundreds of pies were donated through this promotion!
Thank you Coco’s for your generosity in providing fresh baked quality pies to those in need in San Bernardino County!

Jiffy Lube-Five Jiffy Lube stores partnered with Community Action Partnership of San Bernardino County to help collect canned foods for San Bernardino County families who risk going without food for the past Holidays. 

The leader in the automotive preventative maintenance industry encouraged San Bernardino County Residents to donate canned foods to help their community.  In exchange for 5 canned foods being dropped off at any Hesperia, Apple Valley or Victorville Jiffy Lube location, customers automatically received the highly discounted price of $19.99 on their Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change.
