California League Of Food Producers

Due to the high unemployment rate in many parts of the region, the demand for food often exceeds the supply at most of the food banks in the Central Valley. The California Association of Food Banks is looking to expand its network of contacts and identify obstacles to increased donations. Many CLFP members already make generous donations to local groups but may not get enough credit for all their good works. Some companies would like to do more as a component of their corporate responsibility programs, but are not sure how to best participate. The California Department of Food and Agriculture is launching an initiative to reduce waste in the food system by promoting the donation of excess or un-harvested products.
