Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services operates a small resource room for people experiencing all forms of hardships and crisis. Resource Central provides personal assistance through qualified counselors to families and individuals seeking a variety of assistance such as utility assistance, nutrition and mental health counseling, shelter and housing options, adult education, etc. SFBFS either provides theses services internally through our different programs, or refers them to partnering agencies.
Please use the Resource Central database to look up information about services throughout the Sacramento area. Additionally, fliers about events and organizations are hosted on our site and rotated on a monthly basis. Please feel free to download fliers, print, copy and distribute these resources to members in the community.
