Big Day of Giving

Coming this year, Big Day of Giving – May 1, 2025

Mark your calendars! Big Day of Giving is returning on May 1, 2025, and we need your help to make an even bigger impact this year.

Last year, we did it! Thanks to our incredibly generous community, River City Food Bank raised more than $83,000, providing 2.9 million healthy, meaningful meals to our neighbors experiencing hunger. This incredible support ensures that families, seniors, and individuals across Sacramento have access to fresh and nutritious food when they need it most.

For more than 50 years, we have been honored to serve our community, and we know that together, we can do even more. Join us this year as we continue to fight hunger and provide hope. Stay tuned for ways to get involved and make a difference on May 1, 2025!
