The Merced County Food Bank is the hub of nonprofit food collection and distribution in the County, supplying the bulk of the food that many local agencies need to serve those living in poverty. We partner with our member agencies to provide food to programs in underserved neighborhoods through grocery pantries, senior centers, school lunches, daycare centers and hot meal kitchens. Food is distributed to people in need at neighborhood food pantries, school lunch and afterschool programs, and hot meal kitchens throughout Merced County.
