Donate to Fight Hunger for Vulnerable SCUSD Families

Help us fight hunger in the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD)! Community Food Connections is a program of Alchemist CDC that bridges gaps in the food system to get groceries to local SCUSD families of school children who are the most vulnerable to hunger. As of November 2025, we are helping 1,600 neighbors across 36 campuses each month! That’s 1,200 children and 400 care-givers and family members who receive groceries every 1 or 2 weeks! With your help, we can feed even more families!

Learn more about the program, get involved, or make a gift now!

Your gift makes a difference!
