For the sixth straight year, SESLOC was proud to team with the SLO Food Bank and Food Bank of Santa Barbara County to help raise funds for those experiencing food insecurity in our community. Thanks to the generosity of donating member-owners and employees, we raised a combined total of $9,757.90 for the food banks. Each dollar buys enough food for four nutritious meals, thanks to the Food Banks’ network of partners.
Now more than ever, our neighbors are relying on the support of our local food banks for access to wholesome nutrition. 1 in 6 people in San Luis Obispo County and 1 in 3 in Santa Barbara county are in need of food assistance. Many of those in need are seniors and children. Beyond distributing food and finding creative ways to bridge the hunger gap, our food banks also provide nutritional education to promote healthier communities. Thank you for your continued support of our community.
