This Holiday Food Distribution would not be possible without the generous support of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation and the continued support from the community, volunteers and local businesses.  Davis Co-Op also generously donated 200 turkeys. Through its collaboration with the community, Yolo Food Bank is able to help alleviate hunger in Yolo County this holiday season. Each month Yolo Food Bank serves an average of 19,000 households and 52,000 people across all urban and rural areas of Yolo County and Arbuckle in Colusa County.
