Members of CAI-Orange County and their guests gathered Saturday, April 26th , for another
successful ‘Day at the OC Food Bank’ in Garden Grove. The OC Food Bank, a program of
Community Action Partnership of Orange County, helps communities end hunger and
malnutrition by partnering with more than 300 local charities, soup kitchens, and community
organizations.
This annual event attracted over 40 CAI-affiliated volunteers who worked in assembly lines to
pack boxes of food for low-income senior citizens throughout Orange County. These boxes
contained non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and other staples that provide
much-needed nutrition to those in need. Our amazing group of volunteers worked extremely hard
and were able to pack 1640 boxes of food!
The Community Outreach Committee extends its sincerest THANK YOU to everyone who
sacrificed their Saturday morning to give back to the community. We are truly “Building Better
Communities” together!
