How to become a Food Bank Agency

The CAPSBC Food Bank offers three feeding programs to nonprofit agencies:

  • The USDA food distribution program
  • Donated food or “salvage food” program
  • Congregate Feeding Program or “soup kitchens”   

Before applying to become an affiliate agency nonprofits are encouraged to visit local affiliates of the CAPSBC Food Bank during their distribution of food so that you know what to expect.  We currently are only processing applications in areas that:

a)Do not already have an affiliate agency providing food.
b)Are in an area that would replace an agency we are currently delivering to.
c)Are in areas of the county that are undeserved.
d)If you’re nonprofit is currently serving 300 or more person per month (and have documentation to support that claim).

If you are in the city of San Bernardino you can go to Google map of San Bernardino to locate our current feeding sites to see where your nonprofit is in conjunction to existing  sites or you can check our website at capsbc.org/programs/food bank/feeding sites to locate which sites are currently providing food in your area.  
Nonprofits wishing to apply to become an affiliate agency with the CAPSBC Food Bank must be willing to serve the public as a whole and not solely your group or congregation.

To apply:
Once you have determined that you are in an area that is not currently being served by one of our affiliates; Write a letter of intention (letters must be submitted on your nonprofits letterhead signed by the CEO or head of your agency, members or volunteers cannot apply). Letters of intent can be addressed to:
The CAPSBC Food Bank
