Yreka Food Bank

Hello and Good Day, The Yreka Food Bank is a 501c3 Nonprofit that has served the community for over 40 years. We serve the entire county and do not restrict assistance based on income or living situation. Since serving the entire county we have almost doubled our service numbers. We thank everyone who has supported and donated to us over these many years. In June 2023 we moved locations, with that, our non food related bills have gone up. That has made it harder to maintain what we put in each bag that goes to a client but we find a way to maintain uniformity to be fair to everyone we help.

Those items that are standard for every client so no one has any less than another are listed as follows; Cereal or oatmeal, dried pasta or rice, mac & cheese, muffin mix, ramen, fruit, soup, beans, vegetables, pasta sauce or diced tomatoes, eggs and Bread. One of the new way to raise funds we started in 2024 is our Bag Sponsorship Program, other funds come through local donors and our volunteers collecting and turning recycling throughout the year. In addition to our food assistance, we also have a clothing closet, houseware assistance cabinet, safe drinking container assistance, animal food assistance, fresh produce assistance, and we provide snacks for various other community group outreaches. During the year we work with many groups and individuals, some of our long standing supporters are the Yreka Knights of Columbus, Yreka Boy Scout Troop #58, The Yreka SDA Church & School, the Madrone Hospice Shop, Yreka Community Garden, Life Four Square Church, Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, Red Cross, Rain Rock Casino, Great Northern Services, Tri - Counties Bank Yreka and Grenada Berean Church. In 2024 we established connections with the Howard Mason Lodge #38 of Yreka (Now Saint John’s-Fort Crook Masonic Lodge # 37), the Montague Rotary, Umpqua Bank, Yreka Certified Farmer’s Market, Roadhouse Bar & Grill, Grocery Outlet Yreka, Walmart Yreka, Miner Street Mercantile, and more for our various outreach projects related to food and not related to food. We as an organization/ individual volunteers also are part of various community groups those including; the Continuum of Care Homeless Coalition, Siskiyou Modoc Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, the 960697 Mill Fire Long Term Recovery Group, the Mckinney Fire Long Term Recovery Group, the Siskiyou County branch of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program through FEMA, Salvation Army, Greenhorn Grange, Purr Angels, Ashland Lions Club, Saint Joseph's Catholic Church and Madrone Hospice.

ProducePedia

ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!

State Cooperative Extension Web Sites

The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
