El Dorado County, CA – December 8, 2023
In the spirit of giving, the Food Bank of El Dorado County is set to host a heartwarming “Holiday Outreach” community food distribution event on Saturday, December 16th, from 9 am to 3 pm. This initiative aims to provide a festive meal to struggling residents of El Dorado County, offering not only sustenance but a touch of holiday joy during challenging times.
Generosity in Action:
The Food Bank, a stalwart in supporting the community, is gearing up to make a significant impact by distributing holiday meals to those facing food insecurity. The event promises to be a testament to community teamwork, as volunteers and staff collaborate seamlessly to bring a touch of warmth to El Dorado County residents.
Holiday Meal Essentials:
The carefully curated holiday meal packages include a hearty turkey, traditional holiday side dishes, milk, and fresh juice or seasonal fruit sourced directly from local farmers. This thoughtful selection ensures that families can gather around a festive table and share in the joy of the holiday season.
Drive-Through Distribution: A Safe and Efficient Approach:
In adherence to safety protocols, the distribution will follow a “drive-through” format. Residents in need can simply drive up, and dedicated volunteers and staff will efficiently load their car trunks with the holiday provisions. This streamlined approach not only ensures a smooth process but also prioritizes the health and safety of both recipients and volunteers.
Extending the Reach: Special Services for Homebound Residents and Veterans:
Recognizing the diverse needs of the community, the Food Bank goes the extra mile by offering delivery services to medically homebound residents and veterans. This thoughtful gesture ensures that those facing challenges accessing the distribution site can still partake in the holiday cheer.
