For over 40 years food share has been feeding the hungry in ventura county. It ALL began when eight friends banded together to provide food to those in need under a bridge in ventura, CA. The early philanthropic movement started in a family garage, quickly outgrew an unused, donated fire station in saticoy and now operates in oxnard, CA with three warehouses with a combined 46,000 square FEET. Today staff and volunteers distribute more than 19 million pounds of food, or 16 million meals annually through its 190 pantry and program partners. As ventura county's only regional food bank, food share provides food for nearly 267,000 hungry friends and neighbors annually. Food share is a member of feeding america, the nation's largest hunger-relief network of food banks, as well as the california association of food banks.
