Community News · Tuolumne County
The Amador Tuolumne Community Action Agency (ATCAA) Food Bank has launched the "Friends of the Food Bank" campaign to solicit cash and food donations as demand rises and federal funding decreases. The agency reports serving over 7,000 residents annually, with recent system data showing 7,253 individuals currently assisted. Federal cuts have eliminated approximately $250,000 in annual Community Development Block Grant funding and reduced USDA TEFAP staple commodities by an average of 65%. Residents can support the effort by donating online, via check, or through physical food barrels located at the food bank on Victoria Way in Jamestown.
