Where to get free food, list of food banks is organized with the nine Sacramento County, CA food lockers on top serving anyone who needs emergency food. The best way to use the list is to choose a good day to go, such as a Thursday. For example, if you live in zip code 95608, then on Thursday go to the Central Downtown Food Basket, River City Community Services and The Salvation Army. That way you can have enough food to last until your next funding or food locker distribution for your zip code. There are more food pantries listed by area food distributions / Food Pantry Downtown / Food Locker Rancho Cordova / Food Closet North Sacramento / Food Pantry Natomas / Free Meal Locations / Food Boxes for a Reduced Fee / Sacramento Food Bank Mobile Distribution. Once your emergency food situation is done for the day, move on to locating clothes, housing or whatever your next need is. Using a system will greatly help you achieve self-sufficiency.
