Central Downtown Food Basket (a 501(c)3 non-profit organization) began its mission to feed
the elderly and low-income in 1983. Today we are still going strong, feeding nearly 1,500
families and 700 seniors a month. CDFB brings in just under $2,000,000 in food donations
every year while maintaining a low overhead. Clients can pick up bagged groceries as well as
USDA commodities. We also provide warm clothing and hygiene products for those who need
it. CDFB serves ALL ZIP CODES in the greater Sacramento area.
CDFB feeds those in need in the greater Sacramento area with "Dignity and Respect." We do
this by being hands on with our distribution. Some just want a hug or shake your hand, others
need someone to listen. Our volunteers pay attention to those needs while giving them the
food they require. We also display our produce in a unique manner, creating a farmers
market environment. We take the produce out, and display it in a style that's pleasing to the
eye. We do not hand out anything we would not eat ourselves.
All of this is accomplished at St. John's Lutheran Church, located at 1701 L Street. Through
their generosity they have allowed us to use Goethe Hall to help us in our distribution of food
to the seniors, low income and homeless of Sacramento.
CDFB also has a location at Atonement Lutheran Church at 9242 Kiefer Blvd. CDFB distributes
food and fresh produce on the 4th Tuesday of every month to those who need it in the
Rosemont area of Sacramento.
For every $1.00 received = $20.00 of
food given out to the needy.
