Youth Volunteer Elise, featured in the Press Democrat, helps delivers meals at Ceres with her mom. We currently have a shortage of volunteers and especially need help delivering meals. If Elise's story inspires you, considering volunteering with us too! bit.ly/3QzHUSV

Do you have some extra mason jars you'd be willing to donate? We need extra narrow-mouth pint jars to hold flowers at our biggest fundraising event, Harvest of the Heart. We don't need the tops, just the jar part. Please email us at info@ceresproject.org to donate. Thanks!

@LuzCalvo We are largely a white organization and our Hispanic/Latinx and Spanish-speaking client base is growing.  Would you be willing to connect with us about staff training or things we should consider as a meal provider? We would love your expertise!

I am tremendously honored to be assuming this new role at @FIMCoalition during such a transformative time in the field of nutrition and health. #foodismedicine #healthequity
