Expanding Our Reach in 2025

By the close of 2024, we exceeded our goals. We served over 700 veteran families and families in need a month. During the holidays, the number of market shoppers increased by as much as 50%. This translates to giving out over 20,000 pounds of fresh produce, meat, eggs, and prepared food to those that we serve every month. In 2025, we are launching new programs to serve additional groups that truly need our help.

Home Bound Veterans

Home bound veterans need our help. Veterans with limited mobility are often the last to ask for help. While over 5% of the elderly population is home bound, there is little information on the number of home bound veterans. Most of this is due to the fact that veterans often don’t report their limited mobility. Through our outreach with the VFW, we know that the home bound veteran population is significant. Learn More.

Senior Shares

Seniors represent one of the highest levels of food insecurity. Options for food are also often limited. Our Senior Shares program focuses on seniors in need and provides food through representative distribution for seniors that live nearby. Learn More.

School Teacher Shares

Many school teachers that are early in their careers often cannot afford median rent levels. Even more teachers are challenged to meet their needs for food. In California, approximately 30% of teachers experience rent burden, which also translates to food insecurity. We are currently working to launch our School Teacher Shares program in the third quarter of 2025.
