The Berkeley Food Network (BFN) is an innovative, community-centered organization that brings expanded food assistance services to food-insecure Berkeley residents. BFN’s goal is to ensure that all Berkeley residents are free from hunger and have access to affordable high-quality, healthy food. Funds will be used to purchase a pallet jack and operationalize a recovery network in the East Bay, allowing BFN to accept large donations from Tier 1 generators and distribute to other food recovery organizations within their network, acting as a food hub.
