Our fridge is stocked to the brim, thanks to our partners at the Alameda County Community Food Bank! It is with donations like this, along with the many other partners we work with, that helped us to feed the over 8,000 low-income senior households that we served last year. Thank you to all of our partners, volunteers, and donors for your continued support - your impact makes a difference in senior's lives!
