Why is this campaign important?

One in seven people is currently struggling with food insecurity in California, yet enough food is produced to feed every person in this state. Donations from this campaign ensure we can support our network of partner agencies that use the donated food to feed people in need across Southern California. Our goal for 2021 is to rescue 16 million pounds of wholesome food—that’s enough for 13 million meals! That’s also millions of pounds of greenhouse gases eliminated and tons of resources saved as a result of feeding people, not landfills.

We’re about to peel out on this campaign on April 1^st – please share with friends and family, because it takes a bushel of support to make our program successful!

Bonus Note: We will be doing weekly opportunity drawings throughout the month – anyone who donates could win!
