Are you looking for part time work this summer where you can help the children of our community? Come work at the Food Bank of Nevada County for our Summer Lunch Program! The Summer Lunch Program makes and delivers lunches to underserved children around the county who rely on free lunches throughout the school year. This job includes leading volunteers as they make the lunches, delivering the lunches to various locations, helping with clean-up and set-up for the next day, and completing miscellaneous tasks as needed. This is a great opportunity for high school or college students on summer vacation who want to give back.

The Food Bank is very pleased to announce that our School Snack program was a great success this past school year! We served over a dozen schools and thousands of children ate our snacks. We look forward to helping them again in the coming years.
How it works: Schools will send a representative on Friday mornings to our warehouse at 310 Railroad Avenue in Grass Valley to select what snacks to bring 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 foodbankncca@gmail.com, 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.

We are proud partners with the Nevada County Diaper Project who work to provide diapers for babies in the community. Many mothers struggle to afford basic needs for their babies, including clean diapers. A clean diaper leads not only to a happy and healthy baby, but also to a happy and healthy mother and family.
You can receive diapers and other baby products from the Nevada County Diaper Project at our Grass Valley distribution the second and fourth Thursday of every month as well as on their website.
We also accept donations of diapers, wipes, formula, food, etc.
FREED Center for Independent Living offers a variety of resources including a food delivery service twice a month to elderly, disabled, and/or homebound individuals in Nevada County. If you or someone you know is homebound and unable to attend our distributions, contact FREED by phone for more information on how to sign up (530-477-3333).
This program offers four food deliveries over the course of sixty days for medically impacted people. To qualify you must have a referral to the program from Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital or a Care Coordinator. Please contact 211 for more information.
CalFresh provides monthly food benefits for individuals and families with low-income who meet federal income eligibility rules and want to add to their budget to put healthy and nutritious food on the table. CalFresh benefits can help buy nutritious foods for a better diet. CalFresh benefits stretch food budgets, allowing individuals and families to afford nutritious food, including more fruit, vegetables and other healthy foods.
The program issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Food may be purchased at most grocery stores or farmers market that accepts EBT cards. To learn more, visit their website.

Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC serves to safeguard the health of low-income pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating including breastfeeding promotion and support, and referrals to health care.

We couldn't offer this support to our county without the generous aid of PG&E. We sincerely thank them for their kindness.
