Food for People

BEST Local Cause, BEST Nonprofit BEST COVID-Related Community Support Group

Food for People has been there for Humboldt County residents in need of a helping hand, no matter the circumstance, for more than 40 years.

From humble beginnings in 1979 as a single closet of food, the nonprofit has grown over the ensuing years to include 18 programs — from summer lunch programs for children and senior meal deliveries to free produce markets and choice pantries — making a difference in the lives of 12,000 people every month.

Even while enduring its own struggles this year in the wake of a sewer backup that flooded its main warehouse just before shelter in place began, Food for People stayed the course, finding new and creative ways of fulfilling its vision of "creating a stronger healthier Humboldt County" as many in the local community face the economic and social isolation impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Four decades and counting, Food for People continues to step up to help fill others' plates — help needed now more than ever.
