Foodbank Fed Thousands during the Holiday Season
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County worked to feed thousands of hungry children, seniors, families and individuals during the 2009 holiday season. The Foodbank's annual Turkey Drive and Holiday Food Drive were a huge success.
 
With help from the community, the Foodbank distributed 3,000 turkeys and 3,000 chickens through its network of 220 nonprofit organizations and Direct-to-Client Programs.
Through partnerships with grocery stores, the local Postal Carriers, civic groups, businesses, schools and individual contributors, the annual Holiday Food Drive raised nearly 106,000 pounds of nutritious nonperishable goods for those in need.
