Help North County Community Food Bank Support People in need.
Your tax-deductible donations help us support families on their path to stable independence. Your funds help us provide basic life skills education to children, families, homeless and seniors that will aide them in regaining their footing.
See below for additional information on donating food and supplies – we need those too!
Pledge $100 or more, and you will become an honored member of the North County Community Food Bank’s A.P.P.L.E program. Or join our monthly donor program and you will be a part of the A.P.P.L.E program as well.

High protein foods are always essential! We strive to offer clients the most nutritious, low salt, low or no sugar added, foods available.

Our clients’ needs are always growing, subsequently the needs of the food bank do as well. Currently our senior population is growing rapidly (approximately 20% this past year). This trend mirrors the aging demographics across the country and we will continue to see this growth moving into the future. If you are currently planning annual donations, you living wills, or estates, please contact us. Charitable trusts and other beneficial donations can be arranged that will also support the food bank.
