Company Profile

Company Overview

The California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) is proud to amplify the voice of food banks on behalf of hungry Californians. We do this by influencing public policy, enhancing the social safety net, ensuring that fresh produce and healthy proteins are available to all Californians, connecting hungry residents with nutrition programs, and supporting our 41-member food banks in their work to feed our communities.

The California Association of Food Banks believes that food is a fundamental right. Food is medicine; it is fuel for learning, a teacher of cultures, and a convener of communities. Right now, 8 million Californians are food insecure, nearly double pre-pandemic rates. We’re working to change that.

We value diversity and seek to reflect it on our team and how we do business. Our goal is to attract, develop, retain, and promote a talented and diverse workforce in a culture where all employees will contribute to their fullest potential.
Our Values:

Dedication—We are committed to ending Hunger in CA, while acknowledging and working to dismantle systems of oppression and injustice that perpetuate food insecurity.
Inclusion—We value the diverse and intersectional voices, cultures, and experiences of our colleagues and of our state.
Collaboration—We work with and support each other, our member food banks, partners, and the CA community.
Transparency—We cultivate trust between each other and among our stakeholders through transparency.
Accountability—We take ownership of our successes and mistakes, encouraging vulnerability and asking for help.
