Alleviating their immediate pain and problems and moving with them toward
  self sufficiency and financial independence.


  SFBFS accomplishes the above goals through the following services:

  - Providing Adult Education
  - Providing Mothers with guidance and their infants with food and diapers
  - Helping women heal emotionally and physically through artistic expression
  - Strengthening families through a program of ethics and self-esteem
  - Providing early childhood education and youth services
  - Feeding the hungry
  - Clothing the poor
  - Housing homeless families with children
  - Furnishing seniors with a social club and volunteer opportunities
  - Providing high-tech knowledge for youth

  SFBFS has a well-planned strategy guiding all of its programs. This strategy involves a large cadre of volunteers
  who offer integrity in 'mentoring', 'bridge-building', and walking 'hand-in-hand' with people.

  SFBFS runs a very lean grassroots organization with an incredibly efficient professional staff of 37, and a
  volunteer workforce of well over 1,000 annually. Despite the fact that operating costs for many non-profits
  escalate, SFBFS has effectively managed to keep the quality and quantity of services at the highest standards.

  In fact, for every dollar donated, Sacramento Food Bank & Family
  Services distributes $10.00 worth of products and services back into the community.
