We received an entire pallet of whole roasted almonds from our partners at the Alameda County Community Food Bank @ACCFB - how amazing! Healthy proteins are so important for older adult health!

We are mourning our beloved longtime volunteer, Hope, who recently passed away at age 100. For over 30 years she came weekly or twice weekly to make sure all the produce in our warehouse was ready to be taken to the distribution sites.

It's Farm Worker Appreciation Day!

Farm Workers are foundational, not just to our Brown Bag program, but to our society as a whole. Food cultivation, production and transportation drives all aspects of humanity!
