At Forkas Home Team, we believe in the power of community. Real estate is about more than just houses—it’s about the people who live in them, the neighborhoods that thrive because of them, and the collective effort to support one another. That’s why we are honored to highlight the incredible work of the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano in our ongoing series, Worthy Cause: Giving Back & Paying It Forward.

Serving over 275,000 people each month, the organization distributes millions of pounds of nutritious food through a vast network of pantries, soup kitchens, and direct programs.
Hunger doesn’t take a break, and neither does the Food Bank. With a mission to end hunger in our local communities, they provide meals to children, seniors, veterans, and families who need them the most. Their work ensures that no one has to choose between food and other basic needs.
