DESPERATE PLEA FOR
VOLUNTEERS AND
DONATIONS TO HELP
LOCAL FOOD BANKS.
SECOND HARVEST
FOOD BANK WAS
HANDING OUT FOOD AT
THE SANTA CRUZ
COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS IN
WATSONVILLE TODAY.
THEY E XPECTED TO
HAND OUT FOOD TO 17-
HUNDRED FAMILIES.
TODAY'S DRIVE WAS
SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPS
....ONE FOR FAMILIES
DISPLACED BY WILDFIRES
AND THOSE IN NEED
BECAUSE OF COVID.
NO. WE'RE SEEING THAT WITH
CRISES
LIKE THE PANDEMIC AND ONGOING
FIRES, THAT THE NEEDS OF FOOD
BANKS ARE GOING TO BE ONGOING.
WE'RE IN THIS FOR THE AT LEAST
THE
SHORT TO MEDIUM TERM, WHICH IS
WHY GOVERNOR NEWSOME HAS
LAUNCHED CALIFORNIANS FOR ALL TO
ASK PEOPLE TO SIGN UP AND
SUPPORT
US, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THESE
NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE ONGOING
AND THAT COMMUNITIES NEED THE
SUPPORT THEY NEED.
FIREFIGHTERS WERE
ALSO OUT THERE TODAY
HANDING OUT SMOKE
DETECTORS AND BAGS
WITH PPE IN THEM. ##
