Weekly food distribution! Come help sort donations and pack boxes for families in need. No experience needed. Sundays 10am-12pm
Aisha Thompson·
I'm in! What should I bring?
David Bergstrom·
Just yourself and energy! We provide gloves and supplies
Sophie Brenner·
This is great work but I always wonder—how many people are actually getting consistent long-term support vs. just a one-time box?
Aisha Thompson·
@sophieb.travels great question. We have returning families on our lists. Also connect people to CalFresh enrollment. It's part of a bigger approach
Benjamin Schwartz·
Just saying, if we had better wages and housing policy, we wouldn't need to keep doing food banks as bandaids
Luis Rios·
@ben.classical true, but people need food NOW. While we work on policy, this keeps families fed. Both things at once?
Rachel Holbrook·
@luis.tech.sd exactly. We're not pretending this fixes everything. It's immediate mutual aid while we push for bigger changes
Sophie Brenner·
Okay that makes sense. Parking situation on Sundays though—is there a lot?
David Bergstrom·
@sophieb.travels street parking is pretty open on Sundays in that area, plenty available early morning
