For more than 20 years, the Rescue Mission Alliance Valley Food Bank has worked on fighting hunger and feeding hope to build and sustain hunger-free communities by providing nourishment and hope to those in need. Our work would not be possible without your generous support.

Resilient. Hopeful. Courageous. Each of these words describes our Food Bank partners. Over the past two years, COVID has reminded us of the capacity Angelinos have to adapt, to find other solutions, and to persevere. It has also reinforced what we know—that hunger has many faces.

At any time, anyone can find themselves needing a little extra help keeping food on the table. It may be easy for some to forget that many are still dealing with food insecurity while trying to rebuild their lives. As we head towards a tentative recovery, we still need your help to ensure we can continue fighting hunger and feeding hope.

Your partnership has allowed the Rescue Mission Alliance Valley Food Bank to be flexible and agile in our response to community needs. This was especially important when we had to pivot every aspect of our operations to meet an unprecedented level of demand due to the pandemic. This past year was unlike any other. We saw the fragility of our food system in our community and nationwide. We saw how many families were only one or two paychecks away from experiencing hunger as evidenced by the number of households who were newly experiencing food insecurity.

With your partnership, we will continue to navigate through this challenging season while incorporating what we have learned over the last twenty-four months into our work moving forward. We also remain committed to addressing the root causes of hunger and ensuring equitable access to healthy food for all.

Thank you for your commitment to our work. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors in need.
