As the designated Food Bank for Shasta County, SSNP is a member of Feeding America, the largest Food Bank in the United States. This enables us to purchase bulk food at a low cost to share with community food lockers.
Our Food Bank programs include: the Senior Brown Bag Program, Emergency Food Assistance Program and the Emergency Food Program.
Senior Brown Bag Program
The Brown Bag Program serves low-income seniors aged 60 or older. Each month two bags of nutritious food are distributed at eight distribution sites located throughout Shasta County. Membership Fee is $24 annually. We are always in need of brown and plastic grocery bags . By donating your bags you are supporting senior programs as well as recycling.
