With egg prices soaring to or over $10 per dozen and other staple foods seeing similar increases, access to food assistance programs has become more vital than ever for community health and wellbeing. In Siskiyou County, a network of dedicated food banks and community organizations stands ready to help residents facing food insecurity.
From Yreka to Mount Shasta, multiple locations offer support throughout the week. The Siskiyou Community Food Bank, operating Mondays and Thursdays, serves as a cornerstone resource in Yreka. Additional support comes from organizations like Saint Anthony’s Soup Kitchen and various community food pantries spread across the region, ensuring that help is available nearly every day of the week.
Beyond immediate food assistance, programs like CalFresh provide longer-term support for eligible residents. Local resource centers throughout the county, including locations in Scott Valley, Weed, and Dunsmuir, help residents navigate these benefits. This comprehensive support system recognizes that food security isn’t just about physical health – it’s fundamental to emotional wellbeing and peace of mind.
The rising cost of groceries affects everyone, but no one should have to choose between food and other essential needs. These community resources demonstrate that seeking assistance isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather a smart step toward maintaining health and stability during challenging economic times.
For those in need, these services are just a phone call away, with most locations offering flexible hours and multiple days of operation to accommodate different schedules. The community’s strong support network stands as a testament to the commitment of ensuring no resident goes hungry.
You can access the flyers on our Local Food Resources page, which is updated weekly. We also share this information on our Facebook page for real-time updates.
