Our semi-annual food drive Fill the Foodbank! is coming up on Saturday, November 19! Drop off your canned goods and nonperishable items from 10am-2pm at the locations listed below. We can’t wait to see you there!
Locations:
80 Coromar Dr. Goleta, CA (Foodbank Sharehouse)
1643 S Bradley Rd, Santa Maria, CA 93454 (Toyota of Santa Maria)
Some needed items include:
- Nut butters
- Whole grain cereals and pasta
- Canned tomatoes and sauce
- Canned protein, tuna
This season, need is especially high in our community. This increase in need is due to the “perfect storm” of factors that will impact hunger this fall and winter:
- Many of our neighbors who work in seasonal sectors will lose jobs or hours: hospitality, tourism, construction and agriculture, to name a few
- Inflation is making it harder for community members to afford food, rent and other goods/services
