“Together, we’re making a difference. This funding will help us expand vital services for families and children impacted by the Eaton Fire, including food distribution and housing support. We are deeply grateful to Share Our Strength and the LA Wildfire Response Fund for standing with us. Together, we’re proving that we can do together what we cannot do alone.” – Rabbi Joshua Levine Grater, executive director of Friends in Deed.
“For families who lost their homes, income, and sense of stability, recovery is only the beginning. We are humbled to support frontline partners and are focused on continuity and care for our neighbors and partners on the ground.” – Kathy Saile, director of No Kid Hungry California.
Whether it’s supporting the summer meal programs for kids who lost access to school meals, home delivery programs so schools and organizations can serve more children with healthy meals and resources, or preparing for school reopenings in the fall so children returning to classrooms have the nutrition and emotional support they need to thrive, we will be there to support families as they rebuild and to ensure no kid goes hungry.
