About Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services
Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services centers its grantmaking on direct food and basic-needs distribution across Sacramento County and nearby communities. The largest recent grant listed is $5,184,457 to Purpose & Legacy in Sacramento for food distribution, followed by $4,004,316 to the same organization in 2023 for the same purpose. That recurring pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing delivery systems rather than one-time projects. Its recent grants also show substantial support for local food banks and community-based providers that handle food, diapers, clothing, and supplies. Elk Grove Food Bank Services received $3,817,115 in 2024 for food and diapers, while River City Food Bank received $3,523,330 in 2024 for the same combined distribution model. The foundation’s giving is therefore tied to routine, practical aid for food-insecure individuals, families with infants and young children, and low-income community members needing basic supplies. Across the grants list, the recipients are overwhelmingly Sacramento-area organizations, and the pattern is consistent with a local direct-service funder focused on recurring relief assistance.
What Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services Funds
Food distribution is the core of the foundation’s recent grantmaking. It awarded $2,820,160 to Sunrise Christian Food Ministry in Citrus Heights for food distribution, and $1,397,077 to Manna Food Bank in Sacramento for the same purpose. Diaper distribution appears alongside food in several grants, reflecting attention to infant and young-child needs. Rancho Cordova Food Locker received $1,851,616 for food and diapers, while The Salvation Army in Sacramento received $1,497,663 for food and diapers. The foundation also funds basic-needs material assistance beyond food. In 2024, Al-misbaah in Elk Grove received $2,226,333 for diapers, clothing, and supplies, and Daughters of Zion Enterpryz in Sacramento received $1,405,300 for the same mix of goods. That pattern fits a direct-service model built around recurring in-kind distribution.
How Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services Gives
Grant sizes are wide-ranging, with a p25 of $30,314, a median of $108,825, and a p75 of $433,196.
