Enjoyed meeting with you @TriTa4CA & @AsmPacheco!

This week, Second Harvest was in Sacramento for the @CAFoodBanks Food Access Conference & Capitol Action Day. We gave public comment for CalFood & met with our OC reps about our CalFood budget request. Thanks to our legislators who met with us! #WeFeedOC #CALeg #CABudget #CalFood

When school ends, many children lose access to the reliable food they count on every day. Through our Kids Cafe Program, we provide healthy food to children 18 and under, helping them stay nourished while school is out. Donate today at: feedoc.org/donate #WeFeedOC

Thank you especially to our OC leaders who took the time to meet with our County's two food banks. We appreciate your partnership in addressing hunger in our community!

This past Tuesday, Second Harvest joined anti-hunger advocates from across California for the California Hunger Action Coalition's #HungerActionDay in Sacramento.

It was an opportunity to educate our state legislators on the current state of hunger across our great state, and to help make sure that programs that keep families fed are protected in the state budget.

Volunteers are critical to our mission. Among 100+ nonprofits in @OCBizJournal December list, we had the highest number of annual volunteers. Thank you for helping ensure equitable access to nutritious food across OC. Sign up to volunteer today: feedoc.org/volunteer

Thank you to the elected officials and representatives who joined us. We’re proud to have walked alongside leaders who are helping move our mission forward: @SenatorChoi @MayorLarryAgran Melinda Liu William Go Michael Tou, District Director for @AsmCottie

Our 4th annual Walk to Feed OC brought our community together in a powerful way. We’ve raised $275,000 so far toward our $300,000 goal. Help us cross the finish line! There is still time to donate: together.feedoc.org/give/702430/#!… #WalkToFeedOC #WeFeedOC
