As the economic impact of the pandemic—and corresponding food insecurity—continues for American families, Foster Farms has renewed its holiday hunger relief efforts with a 64,000-pound turkey donation to West Coast food banks. This donation will bring the comfort of a holiday meal to more than 80,000 people in need across three states to help address staggering food assistance needs. In the coming weeks, Foster Farms will deliver thousands of holiday turkeys to food banks from Seattle to San Diego.
According to Feeding America, an estimated 42 million people, including 13 million children, remain dependent on food assistance and are vulnerable to hunger. In California alone, one out of every five residents—eight million people—do not know where their next meal is coming from.
