The holiday season is here, and so is our annual Hunger Heroes campaign! This fall, our Virtual Food Drive invites you to help provide nutritious groceries to children, families, and older adults in need. Your donation helps stock shelves with fresh produce, holiday meal staples, and pantry essentials. Every dollar supports the Foodbank’s mission to fight food insecurity and ensure everyone can enjoy a warm, filling meal this holiday season. Let’s make this season one of giving and community support!

Foodbank Need:
Across the country, uncertainty and rising costs continue to strain families and individuals. Here in Santa Barbara County, many older adults, workers, and households relying on food assistance are feeling the pressure, with more neighbors turning to the Foodbank—often for the first time. As the colder months approach and work hours decrease for many in agriculture and service industries, we’re preparing to purchase and source more food to meet the growing demand.
Across the U.S. there is an ongoing hunger crisis. In the last year, the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County served more than 200,000 neighbors. The Foodbank provides much-needed relief when work and wages are unpredictable for our community members.
Your gift goes further here. Every $1 you give becomes $5 worth of nutritious food—helping sustain our neighbors through the holiday season.
