Due to the pandemic, the food banks are seeing more people experiencing food insecurities due to cuts in salaries and jobs. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, our Southern California regional food banks have increased food distribution by more than 70% reaching over 200,000 people every week.
As part of the food drive, ABC7, with our regional food bank partners, will be hosting (4) drive-thru food collection locations, two locations per each Friday on June 18th and June 25th. The drive-thru collection sites will provide our viewers and the local community an opportunity to donate their non-perishable food items or purchase a $5.00 food bag at the local Albertsons, Vons or Pavilions stores. The food donations will be shared and distributed with various food banks and food pantries in local communities.
