I donated clothing. There were a couple of volunteers sorting and labeling articles. It was tidy and organized. I had to visit twice, as they only take clothing donations on Tuesdsys and Thursdays. This information is not on their website.
It is truly a wonderful place An Oasis especially under the financial circumstances Im faced with due to Covid-19. The staff is extremely courteous you can expect a return phone call 100%.The items include meats & poultry, milk, deserts, sauces, cut salad mix, water, can foods mostly tomatoes, etc.Then why only 3 stars. However, not all of the food contents will be to ones liking as it is not catering to ones likes, but rather consist of, what hey have is what you get. Nonetheless, you can return what you cant use before walking away But sometimes that could also mean you are left with 25% to take. Abundance of bread that cannot be consumed before it becomes moldy. By returning some you are down 50% of the items. Which means running out of food before time is not uncommon. Offered only 1x per month. Im sure under certain limitations they will not send you back. But thats up to them. Thank you food bank and assistants for being there in difficult times. Keep up the good work. Sharing food is highly rewarding.
ITS GREAT 😌 EVERYONE IS VERY NICE AND HELPFUL,GOD BLESS THEM ALL
Really nice people, especially in our time of need. They helped me pay my Smud Bill.
I recently was helping an elderly neighbor and went to Elk Food Bank where they seem to be very calculated on what they give out to people. She was given a box of moldy bread,moldy cake, hard stale cookies and old/rotten vegetables. Where as seeing others load their cars with shopping carts full of fresh produce and choice items. It seem to be that not everyone gets the same treatment. A place is only as good as their honest employees/volunteers. The intentions are there, the all are equal concept is missing.
Very nice place, nice people, thank you again!
The very Best in free giveaway food locations...More than you can eat
I am very grateful for the extra food! I want to thank all the volunteers who work there; they are very helpful and friendly!
They take great care of people, support them if you can.
Whenever I have clothes to donate this is my place to go. Great customer service!
Best as possible and the need for food Assistance has grown immensely. Grateful.
Such wonderful people so willing to help you
Great service and professional people
All staff extremely helpful! Please dont forget about others. This is a time when people are suffering silently. Donate, thanks.
I wouldnt make it thru the month without them. Get some interesting stuff especially from Trader Joes. Good basics, a little too much bread but some is very good, healthy. Fresh produce, even eggs and milk sometimes. Usually a meat of some kind. Friendly people and even flowers. And the sweets, dont even look if youre diabetic or someone like me who can gain weight just looking. Thank God for the helping hand. Some months its either food or medicine. Food bank makes it easier.
My favorite in the whole entire Sacramento region!
EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND PATIENT GIRLS WORKING IN THE CLOTHS PART.. VERY UNDERSTAFFED Friendly took a while to get food bc of being understaffed i would reccommend some type of seating or protocol for those who have dissabilities
Really nice people.
Each and every person who volunteers here are incredible. They offer the community often high end and healthy foods that are often organic. They also have a clothes closet .
Customers and staff were supportive and friendly
This organization really helps people out it is the best to drink Ive ever been to and the people are so friendly and kind they even help you to your car with the stuff

Wow. What an amazing group of people. They are friendly, organized, and welcoming. They and the service they provide are a credit to the Elk Grove community. A million thanks for what you do. You pewve thier truly feeling blessed.
Excellent friendly people !!!
Its a food bank. Why dont food banks let people get what they need? Instead they spend a lot of time filling out paperwork putting people in categories. I am certain Americans cant be trusted to take just what they need especially since its free so theres a serious issue. Yet I havent herd of such an option. Its important to imagine if given the opportunity to take only what we need Americans would do the right thing. Everyone on the planet needs to imagine that and believe it.
Incredibly kind generous well staffed hard working and APPRECIATED
If you need it they do help. Pretty hit or miss on quality though. Usually have some fruits and veggies that you can have above what staples they give. Kosher friendly if you ask.
Fabulous. The people there are nice & friendly. Dont make you feel like youre getting a handout. Wide variety of food donations. Turkey at thanksgiving & Christmas with the trimmings. Plenty of fresh fruit & veggies. Ever see an orange colored cauliflower?
Very helpful in our time of need. The volunteers and staff, are always friendly, providing assistance with a smile. All the food was very useful and good quality. Elk Grove Food Bank is a blessing to our family and this town. Thank you so much!
They love to help others, best in town
Great
I like this place so much, the workers there are so much nice people.
Elk Grove food bank is awesome, thank you .
Helpful. Good hours.
Expired food that isnt edible. Supposed to be 3 day food and you barely get one meal. They get great donations but stock them up until its garbage. Kick it up a notch. Would you eat that food??? I think not. Shame on you people.
Doing a great job for the people
Staff is always great and they make you feel welcome!!
They are so helpful and friendly. A great place if you need some extra assistance with your food
This food bank has so much to offer, yet they act as if they were taking food out of their own fridge!!! I get needing the necessary paperwork in order to receive, but they wait until the produce is an hour from becoming rotten, flowers wilted,and have actually seen them scold and run after an adult woman for taking an extra cake. Theyre a high volume place,the city of El Grove will never let them run out of food, stop being so stingy and let the people eat!!! Fresh food at that!!!
Elk Grove food bank cares so much for the people who dont have any money to eat. They are open to feed the people 5 days a week. I donate clothes there. They are so nice and living!
Staff has always been very friendly and willing to help carry food from your car to the donation area. Seems like they have a lot of services to assist people. This obviously includes food but also includes clothing. They can always use more donations, especially as we head into the holiday season.
Very easy to sign-up. Always lots of good quality food given out. Very organized Clothes Closet. Great group of Volunteer Staff!
Most of the time theyre very helpful and friendly. But they have a woman who works there at times who has been rude and snobbish. Other than that its great
Always so helpful
People in the 95828 zip code can only receive food from Impact Church now and only on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and only for a short window of time? Cool, I only need help at the end of the month so instead of being able to go in whenever I need help or on a day that fits our schedule we dont get help unless we want to drive downtown to River City fb. I guess its a great place to go if you live in any zip code that isnt 95828....
I was surprised, this food bank was not very generous. For 2 people they only gave us 1 of each item ~ 1 can green beans, 1 can corn, 1 can tuna, 1 can Spam, 1 Mac & Cheese, 1 peanut butter, etc. The rest was heavy on bread and light on substance.Maybe if you could visit more than once a month...
VERY BODY IS VERY FRIENLY &MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. GOD BLESS THEM ALL 😇

This place could use a little more courtesy, and planning when giving out food they sometimes give out spoil food and with large families with children sometimes there nothing in the bags for them.
