Hunger and food insecurity affects people of all ages, races, and genders. Hunger is a year-round problem that touches every community in eastern Riverside County and southern San Bernardino Counties in Southern California. Hundreds of thousands of people face hunger in our service area every year – but even one is too many.

The long-term effects of the pandemic, from 40-year record-high inflation and supply chain shortages, have placed the brunt of financial burdens on the lowest wage workers and low-income families in our community. Grocery budgets become flexible compared to housing, medicine, gas, etc. When finances are tight many have to make the painful choice between skipping meals and paying for these other necessities. FIND Food Bank provides healthy food to anyone in need throughout the desert region to help our clients get back on their feet and thrive. 

La mayoría de nuestros vecinos que enfrentan inseguridad alimentaria son niños, adultos mayores y familias trabajadoras. Para algunas personas, la inseguridad alimentaria puede ser un desafío temporal causado por la pérdida del empleo, una enfermedad u otro revés a corto plazo. Muchos estadounidenses están a solo un cheque de pago de enfrentar la inseguridad alimentaria.
