Food for People has been notified of a voluntary recall of Up & Up Fragrance Free Baby Wipes that have been donated to our organization.

The recall was issued after FDA testing identified the presence of bacteria that may cause serious infections, particularly in newborns, infants, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

If you received Up & Up Fragrance Free Baby Wipes, please stop using them immediately and dispose of any remaining product.

For more information about the recall, please visit Target's official recall announcement: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/target-recalls-fragrance-free-and-fresh-cucumber-scented-baby-wipes-due-potential-microbial

THANK YOU to everyone who made this year's Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive a success, including our hard-working letter carriers, our great crew of volunteers, and all of the community members who donated! We collected over 20,000 lbs of food in Eureka alone. Thanks to our sponsors Ming Tree Realtors, Coast Central Credit Union, Ray's Food Place and LPL Financial.

Thank you, Coast Central Credit Union, for showing up and helping at the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive!

See a need, fill a need! Coast Central employees (and the President of our Volunteer Board of Directors!) came out in full force to support Food for People’s “Letter Carriers Food Drive”. This annual effort helps supplement the food bank after the holidays have ended and helps ensure individuals and families across the county have access to food assistance. In addition to our incredible volunteers who helped sort and process food donations, Coast Central was also happy to be a sponsor of the event. Thank you, Food for People, for the incredible work you do in our communities and thanks to our volunteers for giving their time to this great cause!
