Feeding Central California Since 1992
In 1992 a small group of men and women who were dedicated to seeing that hungry people received the food they needed formed the Food Opportunities Organization and Distribution Inc. dba Central California Food Bank. Like most non-profits, they started with much passion and energy, but very limited resources.
Central California Food Bank started with a temporary facility, the Home and Garden Building within the Fresno Fairgrounds, where they were allowed to store food as they were getting started. But with the Fair fast approaching, Central California Food Bank moved to its first home, a small warehouse in Calwa that had previously been the home of a mattress manufacturer. Ironically, this location is just a block away from the current location on Central Ave. Central California Food Bank outgrew that location in a couple of years and moved to a storefront on the Fulton Mall, which was home for the next five years.
It was during those five years on the Fulton Mall that Central California Food Bank joined America’s Second Harvest, now known as Feeding America, began serving Madera and Kings Counties, and more importantly, began collecting and distributing fresh produce. During these years Central California Food Bank also faced its first disaster relief effort, the “Freeze of 1999”. Efforts grew from distributing just under 2 million pounds of food per year to almost 6 million pounds per year.
