## About Food in Need of Distribution Inc

Founded in 1983, FIND Regional Food Bank is the Feeding America food bank serving the Coachella Valley and California’s Southeastern Desert region. FIND works to end hunger today, tomorrow, and for a lifetime — meeting immediate needs while addressing the root causes of food insecurity for lasting change.
As the largest hunger-relief and food rescue organization in the region, FIND feeds an average of 125,000 individuals each month through 155 distribution sites, including nearly 100 nonprofit community partners and 30 Free Community Mobile Markets that bring fresh, healthy food directly into food deserts and underserved neighborhoods. Last year alone, FIND distributed more than 20 million pounds of food, including 8 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, ensuring children, seniors, working families, and farmworkers throughout the Coachella Valley and surrounding desert communities have reliable access to the nourishment they need. FIND’s Food Security Campus in Indio helps ensure equitable food distribution across the region.
But FIND does more than provide food. Through Community Health Workers, CalFresh outreach, workforce development, and educational programs, we connect individuals and families to critical resources such as nutrition assistance, healthcare access, and other supportive services. By integrating food distribution with case management, benefits enrollment, and skills-building opportunities, FIND helps households stabilize, build resilience, and move toward long-term well-being.
Hunger is complex — but together, we can solve it. Every gift made during CV Giving Day stays local, helping ensure children, seniors, working families, and individuals across the Coachella Valley have reliable access to nutritious food and the support they need to thrive. Your support helps put fresh food into the hands of local families and connect neighbors to life-changing resources.
