Shout out to the talented cast of Bay Area musicians and singers that came together last month for the 4th annual We Are Oakland Concert for Alameda County Community Food Bank. From a whimsical trombone and piano rendition of the Seuss classic “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” to a moving tribute to holiday cooking “What Baking Can Do,” performers played and sang their hearts out at the event organized by Jon Gallo and held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Oakland.

"We sent a check for $7,354 to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. That’s the second highest amount we’ve ever raised! We are so grateful to everyone involved who made this donation possible. Please enjoy some photos from our event!

Just in time, we have a latke recipe for you, here: https://bit.ly/3W5ps8d! 🥔 🥔 🥔 As you can imagine, we really love food at ACCFB, and even more than just because it’s delicious and nourishing. We love enjoying food in community and as a way of connecting with others. So, we asked our staff for some of their favorite holiday recipes so we could share them with you and spend some time in the kitchen together! 🍳 From Mike, Director of Community Engagement & Marketing, who shared his family latke recipe (https://bit.ly/3W5ps8d):

"Latkes are one of a few traditional foods fried in oil to be enjoyed during Chanukah. The use of oil symbolizes the Chanukah miracle when only a days’ worth of oil kept the menorah in Jerusalem Temple lit for 8 days (long enough to make more oil). This latke recipe is pretty common – and simple! It just happens to be the one used by my Grandma when we celebrated Chanukah at her house – and is the one our whole family still uses to this day. WARNING: Your kitchen will smell like latkes for at least a week after cooking these!"

💗 Meet Teresita! 💗 She wears many hats in her day-to-day life: wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, and neighbor.

The rising cost of living affects so many of us, but that doesn’t stop our community from responding with compassion and kindness. For Teresita, having access to fresh food at one our partner organizations near her home is a big part of making her family’s budget work. Always a caretaker, Teresita also shares extra food from the distribution with extended family, neighbors, and her husband’s coworkers.

“We all appreciate the fresh food,” she says with a big smile.

We were honored to meet and chat with Teresita and her family in their thriving home garden that’s filled with a variety of plants that includes fruits 🍋, vegetables 🌱, and beautiful roses 🌹. Yoli, the family pug, also made a lasting impression on us! We’re so grateful to be in community with neighbors like Teresita.
