Redwood Empire Food Bank is a regional nonprofit in the civic and social organizations sector, based in Santa Rosa, California, that coordinates the distribution of food to people in need across five Northern California counties. It operates as a frontline hunger-relief organization, delivering food through its own programs and partner networks to individuals, families, seniors, and children. Founded in 1987, the organization is the area’s largest hunger-relief provider and relies on more than 9,000 volunteers to operate distribution sites and warehouses. Its work is organized around three initiatives: Every Child, Every Day addresses children's nutritional needs through schools and seasonal meal programs; Senior Security serves roughly 4,800 low-income seniors each month with healthy, fresh food; and Neighborhood Hunger Network provides food and nutrition education. In 2026, a long-standing partner, Redwood Credit Union, announced a partnership with the Redwood Empire Food Bank, highlighting ongoing local collaboration.
