Children’s Emergency Food Bank 

Mission Statement     

The Children’s Emergency Food Bank is a local non-profit organization serving Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville, California since 1966. The Food Bank provides food for families in emergency situations, rather than ongoing support. The Food Bank is an all-volunteer organization that operates on the campus of John Knox Presbyterian Church in Dublin, California.

 Our objective is to provide canned and packaged food as well as gift certificates from local markets to obtain fresh foods. We try to give each family enough food for at least one week. We also have a large Christmas Giveaway each year which also includes two large boxes of food and a gift card for Holiday meat.

 To receive food, clients are asked to call our answering service. A volunteer then returns the call and makes an appointment for the donation to the client.

 We rely greatly on donations from individuals and corporations in the community. We are not supported by the Alameda or Contra Costa County Food Banks. Cash donations are always welcome and are used in conjunction with food donations to support our program.
