EFPAC
is a citizen’s advisory body originally established by Mayor
Lionel Wilson in 1985 to distribute brown bags of groceries (for
what was then called the Mayor’s Hunger Relief Program) and
advise the Mayor on matters of hunger and food policy.
EFPAC is not a charter commission, and was not
organized by resolution or ordinance and has
no adjudicatory powers. It is a membership
organization of local churches and community
organizations. The EFPAC is comprised of approximately
25 organizations, which provides oversight
over the expenditure of certain City allocated
resources.
EFPAC accepts donations through the City of
Oakland Hunger Program, 150 Frank Ogawa
Plaza, Suite 4340, Oakland, CA 94612.
Donations help to provide brown bags of food
to hungry families in Oakland, and events like
the Annual Thanksgiving Dinner and the Spring
Egg Hunt.
