Since the COVID-19 pandemic, very few schools have had full-time in person learning. Now that schools are transitioning back into the classrooms, we are offering free snacks to schools around the county.
How it works: Schools will send a representative on Friday mornings or early afternoons to our warehouse at 310 Railroad Avenue in Grass Valley to select what snacks they'd like and bring them back to their respective schools to distribute.
How to sign-up: A school administrator must review and sign all papers in the packet below. Paperwork must be either emailed to info@foodbankofnc.org, mailed to 578 Sutton Way #187, Grass Valley, CA 95945, or delivered to our warehouse at 310 Railroad Avenue. Paperwork must be accepted and approved by The Food Bank before schools are allowed to pick up food.

The Food Bank's Children's Nutrition Program began in 2004.
The School Snack Program is intended to feed school children who would otherwise go hungry until lunch. Since the beginning of the School Snack Program, teachers have noticed an increase in the level of attention from their class and an overall improvement in the grades of the children who were not previously eating a healthy and nutritious breakfast. All snacks are nutritious and low in sugar. There is no cost to the schools and every child receives a snack, no matter their income bracket.
If you are an instructor with a program or classroom that you feel could benefit from the Children's Nutrition Program, please contact our office at (530) 272-3796, Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM.
Teacher's Testimony
"Snacks from the food bank are so very important to our students. Not only do they feed our students who are financially unable to purchase snacks from the vending machines during the school day, they feed students whose family is low on food at home, and students are able to focus and learn better when they have food available to them. In some cases, the snack cupboard is the reason that some students come to school and stay throughout the day.
Last year, a student was able to make it through the full school day when he had the provided snacks available to him. Without the snacks, he was unable to focus and became agitated. This young man is now working full time for a local business, and is continuing his learning.
Having the snacks available to them provides our students comfort and security they may not have otherwise. They know food will always be available in our cupboard."

Silver Springs High School
Last year the School Snack Program provided our local children with 13,860 snacks per week at 28 different schools.
Dates, times, and locations coming soon for 2023!
Each year we provide free lunches to hungry children in Nevada County. During the school year, our local children are eligible for Free and Reduced lunches at the schools. However, during the summer, that particular plan is not available. Through the Food Bank’s Summer Lunch Program, meals are prepared and delivered to students at low-income area apartments, libraries, community organizations, and local parks.
Last year, the Summer Lunch program provided 5,112 nutritious lunches!
To become a sponsor of this program or to volunteer, please contact our office at (530) 272-3796 or email info@foodbankofnc.org
