The Alameda County Community Food Bank is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Oakland, California, founded in 1985 to advance hunger relief in the Bay Area. It coordinates a broad network of 267 partner pantries, soup kitchens, and other community organizations to deliver food to those in need, serving about 116,000 people each month—primarily children and seniors—and distributing enough food for 28 million meals. It is recognized for efficiency and impact, ranking among the top 2% of nonprofits nationwide per Charity Navigator and having been named Best Charity in the East Bay by East Bay Express. The organization provides services to Alameda County residents, including a Home Delivery Program launched in 2012 for individuals who cannot leave home, and it collaborates with a range of partners to expand its reach and address food security. A recent development is a partnership with Pacific West Gymnastics to collect food for the community, announced in 2024.
