Hi everyone! Here is my latest article for Associated Content. Once again, here is the first paragraph and the link:
Over the last few months, I've been volunteering at the Food Bank and Feeding America in San Diego. Both are types of food banks that distribute food to the poor and to other organizations that deal with hunger. The Food Bank was established in 1977 in San Diego and has its own pantry for people to pick up packages of food on their own and have a warehouse where organizations can obtain food for distribution. Over 10 million pounds of food are distributed annually through this organization. They also deal with government donations and large corporate donations of brand name items. Another one of their facets is educating the public about hunger in the region.

I think that the people who give out the food from the post office was getting it from either Feeding America or the Food Bank. They do pass out food to a lot of different organizations, including a couple of churches that I know of. They serve the entire county.
I also saw some big red bins full of donations at the Food Bank a couple of days ago, too. I think the food that the post office was picking up went to Feeding America, though, and those red bins were from another campaign.
