This #WorldMilkDay, we are celebrating a partnership between @RealCalifMilk & @RaleysFFF to provide milk to food banks. “This donation is so critical-it’s like liquid gold for food banks,” said executive director of @YoloFoodBank. @CDFAnews
Yesterday, we hosted @RaleysFFF's Board of Directors of Directors for a tour of our campus. With the help of their customers, vendors and @raleys team members, Raley's Food For Families provides millions of meals to Sacramento County families each year through our partnership.
Recent layoffs + increasing food prices have forced many in the Silicon Valley to choose between buying groceries or paying rent/utility bills.
But thanks to your support, 460,000 people can turn to @2ndharvest for food and focus on their health and achieving their goals.
This is what a delivery of 81,470 pounds of food looks like, and its courtesy of Raley’s and their customers and team members who donated during the @Raley’s Food For Families Holiday Hope Drive.
3. Neighborhood Hunger Network - serving 70,000+ people every month, including multiple direct distribution programs that provide staple groceries and fresh produce to anyone in need.

Redwood Empire Food Bank operates 300+ direct food distributions each month and are a major food source for 150 other hunger-relief partners.
Together, @refb forms a network of 500+ distributions each month, in high-need areas from Sonoma County to the Oregon border.
Today we’d like to honor our legacy and rich history.
Thirty-seven years ago, Raley’s Food for Families co-founder, Joyce Raley Teel, along with Co-Founder Chuck Collings, had the vision of creating an organization that would end hunger in our communities.
Many families are having to choose between putting food on the table and other life essentials.
You can support the work of local food banks by donating to Food for Families in-store or by visiting https://t.co/yUGURrhysr.
100% of donations stay local.
Thank you to Lotus and Everly for donating money raised from their lemonade stand to @RaleysFFF.
We appreciate your efforts and admire your determination!
You both are making a difference in alleviating hunger in your community.
Chelsea Minor, executive director of @RaleysFFF, shared: "Thank you to @YoloFoodBank staff for hosting our team. It was incredible to see firsthand the great work the food bank is doing to support our community."
Come again soon! 😀
