Many years ago, two local young men decided they wanted to host a haunted house in the backyards of their own neighborhood. They also wanted this event to benefit their local food bank.
Deven Thorne and Ryan Rose rallied their friends and other community members and together work to “Scare Away Hunger.”
This simple grassroots event gives the community an opportunity for a good scare and also the chance to contribute to helping those that struggle to make ends meet.
For more information regarding Scare Away Hunger or how you can start a Halloween outreach in your community, give the Food Bank a call 530-621-9950 or email info@foodbankedc.org.

Although the Food Bank of El Dorado County serves the county as a whole, its distribution facility is centrally located in Cameron Park, Ca. Years ago the Cameron Park Community Service folks offered the Food Bank an opportunity to partner with them on their Annual Summer Spectacular event.
The Food Bank, as the designated charity, would receive one dollar for each three dollar ticket sold for the annual firework celebration. In Turn the Food bank agreed to provide 30 volunteers to assist with the operations of Summer Spectacular.
Another “win-win” unique community partnership that shows that the Food Bank is not only a food distribution agency, but also a grass roots charity that truly cares about the community as a whole.
If you or someone you know would like to volunteer for Summer Spectacular contact the Food Bank at 530-621-9950 or info@foodbankedc.org.

Over a year and a half ago, regional shelter-in-place orders went into effect. As an essential business, the Food Bank of El Dorado County immediately leapt into action to safely and efficiently serve its neighbors in need. The need for our services has only grown and the way we operate has changed in new andexciting ways.
We have experienced some disruption in food donations from our regular food industry donors and are supplementing donated food with food purchases of specific items. The Coronavirus crisis has resulted in unplanned expenses for the Food Bank. Please consider donating here.
Anyone associated with the Food Bank’s activity, including volunteers, clients and staff members are encouraged to follow the health recommendations from federal, state, and local officials. If you are a family or individual in need of food assistance, call 530-621-9950 or find a partner agency serving food here.
