Humboldt County food banks and pantries.
Agencies in Humboldt County try to prevent hunger. The food pantries are widely disbursed in the county as well as the city of Eureka. Not only may free groceries be available or hot meals served by soup kitchens on site, but many pantries also provide other items such as clothing, hygiene items, and similar supplies.
One of the leading non-profits that has multiple locations is Food for People. This organization has partners that are open limited hours and days of the week. Residents should call for availability. They try not to try any low income family away from the groceries they need. Staff at the centers can also help families apply for CalFresh or locate another food bank in their immediate region. Or they can refer people to holiday meal sites or thrift stores for toys, school supplies, and more.
