Congrats to This Month’s Nonprofit Beneficiary: Placer Food Bank
Placer Food Bank (PFB), founded in 1970 as the Community Resources Council, has grown from a small grassroots agency to the leading advocate and food distributor for hunger-relief in El Dorado, Nevada, and Placer counties. They operate a food distribution center in Roseville that’s over 34,000 square feet and is being expanded by 44,000 square feet later this year.

Being a member affiliate of Feeding America, PFB is mindful about the importance of its designation and the high standards set by Feeding America and across the food bank network.

“Each day, our dedicated PFB team and volunteers work diligently to uplift our communities by providing access to healthy foods for people of all ages, genders, races, and ethnicities who are impacted by hunger and the need for food assistance,” says Dave Martinez, executive director of PFB.
