Surge in demand for assistance
Folsom, Calif.- The Twin Lakes Food Bank is calling for community support as it faces a 30% surge in demand for assistance coupled with a decline in food donations over the past year. The food bank is holding a springtime emergency food drive, as its shelves are nearly empty.
The food bank aims to collect 30,000 pounds of non-perishable items to sustain those facing food insecurity in the coming month. Community members are urged to contribute by either purchasing non-perishable food items or gathering donations from neighbors, family, and friends.
The most-needed items include:
- Stew
- Chili
- Canned raviolis
- Soup
- Canned tuna and chicken
- Tomato products
Where do I drop off donations?
Donations can be dropped off at 327 Montrose Drive from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Look for the blue donation barrels upon arrival, where volunteers will be ready to receive contributions.
