Wondering what you can do to help during this virus crisis?

Since 1983, Second Harvest has worked with local grocery stores and countless volunteers to help feed the hungry in Orange County. And now they could really use our help:

"We are facing a triple threat – a dwindling volunteer workforce due to social distancing and health concerns, a soon-to-be smaller supply of donated food, and a growing need for assistance due to school closures. We are reaching out to you, our friends, our supporters, our extended family, during this unprecedented time of need. We are asking for your help to fund 37 truckloads of critical, shelf-stable food we will need to feed our community for the first 8 weeks of this pandemic."

Do you think you might consider making a donation to help in this worthy cause?
