Statement from Randi Shubin Dresner, President & CEO, concerning the Coronavirus outbreak:
While our work at Island Harvest Food Bank continues to assist people who face a daily struggle with hunger, we are taking additional steps to help veterans, seniors, stranded college students, and school-age kids impacted by the coronavirus. Now, more than ever, people and their families who are affected need our help to put food on their tables. Island Harvest Food Bank is taking a lead in meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people in the community during this crisis by reaching out to partner school districts, senior communities and veteran organizations to lend our support and expertise as their programs and services are temporarily discontinued.
We are in the process of ordering emergency response food to address this critical situation and have an immediate need to secure approximately $250,000 in funding to support these costs. Your generous donations will help us meet this important goal to get food to the people sorely in need during this unprecedented time of uncertainty. Thank you in advance for your caring and generosity.
