Yesterday, we were proud to join the California Association of Food Banks and our regional partners in hosting a press conference presenting pivotal information about the state of food insecurity across Southern California. As a coalition of leaders, Southern California food bank directors shared a collective call to action, encouraging everyone from legislators to residents to take action in the fight to end food insecurity. During the event, our OC Food Bank Director Mark Lowry joined Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County’s CEO Claudia Bonilla Keller to share the challenges and successes we are experiencing here in Orange County as well as our work to unite regional efforts to tackle barriers together. We were thrilled to be a part of this important event and extend our gratitude to every leader in attendance working tirelessly to address food insecurity in California: California Association of Food Banks, Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Central City Neighborhood Partners, Westside Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, Eunisses Hernandez, Abigail Marquez #FightingFoodInsecurity #CommunityLeaders #OCFoodBank #PartnersinAction #PovertyEndsHere
