Coronavirus (COVID-19): latest updates and how to get care. Or use the virtual assistant below right to check symptoms.
Welcome to Dignity Health Connected Living’s Food Bank. We are the designated Food Bank for Shasta County. We provide food for our communities with distribution on-site at our Redding location or off-site at many locations around the county.
These are difficult times and COVID-19 is affecting all of us in ways we never imagined. Many people and families are experiencing income loss and tightened budgets. Please know that we have food and are here to serve. All of our regular food distributions and programs are continuing and we are packing more and more bags of food every day to make sure our community is fed. Please see below for specific distribution and program information. If you have questions you can call us at 226-3071. We are trying to answer every call but if you don’t get an answer, leave us a message and we will call you back.
If you are in a position to donate please follow the link below. We are only taking financial donations currently and we are fortunate to have the help of Mercy Foundation North to process these donations for us so our time can be spent getting the food out to our communities.
If you are interested in volunteering for the Food Bank you can call us and we will take your name and contact information. Due to current staffing limitations, we are not able to process volunteer applications very quickly right now so we will contact you as we are able. Your willingness to help is very much appreciated!
Those that are visually impaired can call to have the menu read to them over the phone by calling (530) 223-6034.
As the designated Food Bank for Shasta County, we are a member of Feeding America, the largest Food Bank in the United States. This enables us to share with community food lockers. Included in the programs housed by our Food Bank are the Senior Brown Bag Program, Senior Box Program, Surplus Donated Food, and TEFAP - The Emergency Food Assistance Program (USDA COMMODITIES).
Government surplus commodities are distributed on a monthly basis to low-income families and individuals throughout Shasta County.
For distribution dates, locations, or other information about Food Bank services, please call (530) 226-3071, or e-mail [email protected].
Qualified low-income families may receive this assistance once a month. Distributions are held the first and third Friday of the month from 8 – 9 a.m. only at the Food Bank located within our main facility at 100 Mercy Oaks Drive in Redding.
