Since 2020, Berkeley Lab’s annual Winter Food Bank Challenge has raised over $608,000 in employee donations for local food banks. This year we will once again host a virtual winter fundraiser for the Alameda County Community Food Bank (ACCFB) and the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano (FBCCS). Food insecurity remains high in the community and as a result, Bay Area food banks continue to see high demand for their services. Your time and generosity can help the food banks help those neighbors in need.

The 2024 Winter Food Bank Challenge kicks off on Giving Tuesday (December 3) and runs through Monday, December 23. It will once again run as a friendly competition among 6 teams that bring together research and operations divisions.

Expect more details in Elements and from your team’s co-captains in the coming weeks.
