Food insecurity affects many of the residents in the communities we serve, so our partnerships with organizations that address that situation are vital. Thanks to Laura Sardisco, Orange County Food Program Coordinator for providing the amazing statistics below that document the impact of our programs, and thanks to Melanie D’Avanzo, Community Manager, Greystar, at Coventry Court Senior Apartments in Tustin, CA, for sending along these photos of volunteers making a food delivery from Second Harvest Food Bank.
Thank you also to all of the community residents for their efforts to adapt to the especially difficult pandemic situation. While delivering the weekly meals provided by World Central Kitchen at Long Beach Senior Arts Colony, a resident told Laura, “These meals each week are so delicious and give me something to look forward to. No matter what else happens during the week, at least I know that I’m going to have a delicious lunch on Thursday.”
