SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California produces nearly half of the nation’s fruits and vegetables, yet roughly 1 in 5 Californians – about 8.8 million – currently struggle with food insecurity. They go to bed every night not knowing where their next meal will come from. That includes single parents, children, elderly, veterans, and others in our community.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the numbers of individuals seeking food services in our area has nearly doubled. Someone you know could be impacted by food insecurity – a neighbor, coworker or even a family member.
Each year, ABC10 takes a Stand Against Hunger and calls on our community to help raise money for seven local food banks to help them feed people facing food insecurity this holiday season. In 2023, the community helped us raise $640,494. This means more than 3.2 million meals will be provided for our neighbors in need. Thank you for your support!
