The PG&E Foundation has contributed $250,00 to help local food banks and senior meal programs this holiday season in PG&E’s service area, including $38,240 to eight food banks in the North State.
The PG&E Foundation contributed the funds to the California Association of Food Banks, which in turn distributed the funding to local food banks. Earlier this fall the PG&E Foundations contributed $1.12 million to the CAFB and is making another contribution due to increased need.
“An increasing number of families today are struggling to put food on their tables, and we are grateful to be able to help,” said Joe Wilson, vice president of PG&E’s North Valley & Sierra Region. “We’re proud of our longstanding partnership with local food banks and meal distribution organization. These community-based groups are a critical safety net for families, the elderly, and so many others in helping to ensure they are fed and can lead healthy lives.”
