Thanksgiving Food Drive at SPARC and Whole Foods Venice 90291
826LA, a non-profit Writing/Tutoring Center & VENICE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL
Invite you to join our FOOD DRIVE for the Los Angeles Westside Food Bank
TUE, NOV 18TH – TUE, NOV 25Th, 2008
Many of us find it difficult to believe how many people in our community are hungry…..
….. with the tanking economy and a predicted jump in heating bills it should come as no surprise that a record demand of food bank services is expected.
What you may not know is that the shelves of most food banks are all but empty.
The West Side Food Bank, www.westsidefoodbankca.org, provides food to 65 social service agencies in Los Angeles. In the past six months alone the Westside Food Bank saw an increase of 25% in those who were turning to food banks for assistance: That’s nearly 20,000 more people than last year.
The West Side Food Bank is able to take $1 and turn it into 7 meals.
WHERE TO GIVE:
Donations May be Made Nov 18-25th during Mon-Tue-Wed-Thu, 2:30PM-5:00PM, Fri-Sun, 11:00AM-4:00PM.
