The California Association of Food Banks is a nonprofit organization based in Oakland, California, that coordinates and supports a network of more than 40 member food banks across the state. Its work centers on influencing public policy, collaborating with local farmers to increase the flow of fresh food to food banks, and nourishing individuals and families facing food insecurity. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and focuses on alleviating hunger through collective action and policy engagement rather than direct retail operations. With a mission to create a hunger-free California, CAFB serves its member food banks and their communities by advancing public policy and partnerships that expand access to nutritious food. Through campaigns and programs developed in collaboration with partners and state agencies, it seeks to address statewide hunger challenges from multiple angles, including advocacy, food access initiatives, and nourishment for those in need. The organization is headquartered in Oakland and is active in statewide initiatives.
