The youth of Hands4Hope coordinated and hosted several food drives from September through November to provide an opportunity for our community to donate canned food and monetary donations to support the efforts of local food banks and programs supporting the hungry in our community. Beneficiaries included El Dorado County Food Bank,Twin Lakes Food Bank (Folsom) as well as Green Valley Community Church’s food distribution outreach.
The community drives included a one-day Food Blitz at Safeway Folsom, Grocery Outlet Folsom, and Safeway Placerville where Hands4Hope youth and adult participants collected donations from store patrons. In addition, the Hands4Hope high school clubs at Oak Ridge, Folsom, and Union Mine each hosted a neighborhood Food Blitz in their local neighborhoods. Combined, Hands4Hope youth collected over 1800 pounds of food and $1300.
Thank you to all who donated and supported these Hands4Hope food drives.
