Feeding the Foothills

Feeding the Foothills Feeding the Foothills is a nonprofit food bank that collects and distributes food to our hunger relief partners in El Dorado, Nevada, and Placer counties.

We are one of 200-member food banks as part of the national network of Feeding America. Our volunteers help to sort and package 8 million pounds of food distributed per year by Feeding the Foothills (formerly Placer Food Bank). Our volunteers help in the warehouse, at food distribution sites, and can even help with administrative tasks. It takes a team of helping hands to feed as many children, seniors and families as are in need.

Thank you for your interest in making a difference in the community!

One dollar can go further than you think. 🧡

At Feeding the Foothills, just $1 can help provide food for 6 meals- supporting working families, single parents, children, seniors, individuals facing unemployment or underemployment, and neighbors throughout our rural communities.

Every dollar matters. Every meal matters. And every neighbor deserves access to nutritious food.

Your generosity, no matter the amount, can make a meaningful difference right here in our community.

Give today and help us continue feeding the foothills. 🧡

What a way to close out Hunger Action Month!

Through a national partnership with Feeding America, The Cheesecake Factory in Roseville donated 2,552 pounds of peanut butter to Feeding the Foothills.

Peanut butter is a nutritious, shelf-stable staple that can make such a meaningful difference for the individuals and families we serve, and we are incredibly thankful for this generous contribution.

Thank you to The Cheesecake Factory, Feeding America, and everyone who took action during Hunger Action Month to help put food on the tables of our neighbors. Every donation plays a part in fighting hunger right here in our community.

What a beautiful evening for a beautiful cause.

Our Forks & Forklifts Dinner brought together generous sponsors, friends, and community members who believe in helping feed our neighbors across the foothills.

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us, supported this event, and continues to stand behind the mission of Feeding the Foothills. Nights like this are such a sweet reminder of what can happen when a community comes together around one table.

Farm to Family helps connect fresh produce from California farms to food banks across the state, including Feeding the Foothills. That kind of support strengthens the food safety net and helps families access healthier options when budgets are tight.
