FOLSOM FOOD BANK COLLECTS OVER 1200 LBS OF CITRUS TO FEED COMMUNITY

 

Each year, as citrus trees across the region reach their peak, many homeowners find themselves with an abundance of fruit they can’t use. Rather than letting these backyard harvests go to waste, dozens of Folsom and El Dorado Hills residents have stepped up to donate their excess produce to Twin Lakes Food Bank, helping to provide fresh, nutritious food for those in need.

Since Jan. 1, community members have contributed more than 1,200 pounds of oranges, lemons, and grapefruits to the food bank.” Continue reading Folsom Times Article.

 

Closing in on Food Drive Goal

On March 1, we sent out an appeal to the community to donate non-perishable food items for our hungry neighbors as our inventory was dangerously low. Six weeks later, we are pleased to report that our shelves are filling up due to the generosity of local organizations, businesses, churches and individual residents in the greater Folsom community. We have collected 25,276 pounds of our 30,000 pound goal! These non-perishables will feed the 200+ families coming to the food bank every week.
