Hunger Heroes

Become a Hunger Hero today! Your help is needed to fill our food pantries.

East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) invites all businesses, organizations, civic groups, youth groups, and individuals to host a food drive in support of our food pantries. With the rising cost of food and living expenses, we are seeing an increased need for assistance now more than ever.
