food bank

Department of Agriculture that delivered fresh food from local farmers to schools and food banks also shuttered last month.

"This business also made a significant contribution to local food banks and organisations supporting those the crisis."

More than 6,150 California members of AmeriCorps were dispatched to more than 1,200 locations last year, Bonta’s office said, including food banks, shelters, youth centers, schools and churches, Bonta’s office said.

Father Damon Bage said the church was spending more than £200 per week on the food bank and if the level of spending continued it would need to close by July.

The council said £387,000 was spent on food banks, healthy homes, heated vests for people to keep warm and to provide white goods to households.
