Food distribution calendars and sites

Emergency Food Distribution
In addition, the Yolo Food Bank will offer emergency food distributions at the Yolo County Woodland and West Sacramento Service Centers on November 5, 6, 12 and 13 to directly support CalFresh recipients.

Wednesdays: November 5 and 12 in Woodland (Gonzalez Building, 25 N. Cottonwood St)
Thursdays: November 6 and 13 at 9:00 a.m. in West Sacramento (500 Jefferson Blvd)

These targeted efforts are part of a broader, coordinated response that extends beyond immediate food access, as the Yolo Food Bank and HHSA also coordinate with local grocery stores, farmers markets, and other retailers that may experience secondary impacts from the temporary reduction in CalFresh spending power.
