The Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County was founded in 1988 and has become the only source of large-quantity donated and low-cost food to thousands of very low-income residents of San Luis Obispo County.

Food donations—from sources such as local food retailers, organizations sponsoring food drives and citizens who fill our food barrels—are brought into our main warehouses in Paso Robles and Oceano. The food is carefully sorted, safely stored and distributed to more than 140 nonprofit agencies and distribution sites from Nipomo to San Miguel.

Together We Make A Difference!

The many giving hearts and hands of residents and business people in San Luis Obispo County have made a tremendous difference in defeating hunger in our communities. We had another very successful year in 2007, collecting and distributing more than 3.7 million pounds of food to 156 agencies and more than 30,000 individuals in our area.
