Donation Marks Hunger Awareness Day at SLO Food Bank
On behalf of its club members and customers, Vina Robles is pleased to donate $5,000 to the SLO Food Bank this Friday, to coincide with the organization’s countywide Hunger Awareness Day.
The total SLO Food Bank donation was raised from a spring campaign that matched a 20 percent savings on online wine purchases with a 20 percent donation by Vina Robles from net proceeds. The winery then rounded up to make the gift an even $5,000.
“SLO Food Bank is thrilled to receive so much community support for our mission to alleviate hunger during this unprecedented time of need,” said coordinator Tara Davis. “With the funds raised from this effort by Vina Robles, we will be able to provide enough nutritious food to feed 10 families of four for an entire year!”
Before the current crisis, one in six people in San Luis Obispo County struggled with food insecurity—a number that has tripled over the last two months. SLO Food Bank addresses this critical local issue by distributing food directly through neighborhood food distribution sites and direct delivery to homes of self-isolating individuals. It is also the main source of food for 77 nonprofit agencies across SLO County. The organization relies heavily on community donations, and uses these funds very efficiently; just $1 translates to seven meals served. For more, visit SloFoodBank.org.
