At the Forkas Home Team, we believe real estate is about more than homes—it’s about building a stronger, more compassionate community. That’s why we proudly support the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, a local nonprofit working tirelessly to fight hunger and nourish hope across our region.

A Mission That Matters

Since its founding, the Food Bank has provided critical support to families, seniors, children, and veterans in need serving more than 275,000 people every month. But their mission extends beyond food distribution. They also offer educational programs, outreach initiatives, and resources aimed at addressing the root causes of hunger.

From school pantries to senior nutrition programs, their efforts ensure that no one in Contra Costa or Solano County has to face food insecurity alone.

Giving Back and Paying It Forward: The Forkas Home Team Philosophy

Giving back is central to who we are. At Forkas Home Team, every real estate transaction is an opportunity to make a difference. That’s why a portion of each sale goes toward local causes like the Food Bank, because homeownership should help build not just better lives, but better communities.

Supporting the Food Bank is a natural fit for Forkas Home Team. We’re committed to making our community a better place not just through homeownership, but by contributing to causes that matter. A portion of every transaction we close goes toward helping local charities, including the Food Bank, because we believe every home sale should be a step toward a better future for someone in need.

Why the Food Bank Matters

Hunger is a reality for many individuals and families, even in areas that seem to thrive. The Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano has been a lifeline for our community for over four decades, distributing millions of pounds of food annually to those in need. Their impact stretches beyond just providing meals; they offer nutrition education, advocate for policies that combat food insecurity, and ensure that no one in our community has to face hunger alone
