About Our Mission
Our mission is to offer food assistance to local residents of Lincoln and Sheridan, California.
The Salt Mine Food Closet began operating as a faith-based nonprofit in 1985 and has maintained the same mission for 40 years. Located in the heart of Downtown Lincoln, our historic building is the home of a large operation to keep our neighbors fed. We desire that no adult, child, or senior goes hungry in Lincoln and Sheridan, California. The Salt Mine is funded by private monetary donations and The Salt Mine Thrift Store.
