State Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan is hosting a food drive next week in Walnut Creek for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.
The contactless event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. at Tice Valley Community Gym, 2055 Tice Valley Blvd., next to Rossmoor.
“Unfortunately, there are many in our community who have faced tremendous hardship coming out of the pandemic and need our help,” Bauer-Kahan said in a news release. “In the spirit of generosity and uplifting the neediest in our community, my office is hosting a food drive for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano to help feed people in need.
“The food bank has specifically requested the following food items: peanut butter, whole grain cereals, hearty low sodium soup, beans and lentils, canned tuna and chicken in water, canned fruit in juice, whole wheat and whole grain pasta, and canned tomato products,” she said.
Bauer-Kahan suggested people put a bin outside their home and invite neighbors to drop off food to deliver to the event. She said this has been done previously in her food drives, with great success.
Anyone with questions can call (925) 244-1600 or email Assemblymember.Bauer-Kahan@assembly.ca.gov, with “Food Drive” in the subject line.
Yeah, lady. Put a bin outside your home and wait for the porch pirates to steal it. What planet is she from?
Planet Naboo
.
Actually, from Alderaan.
.
I’d say she’s from planet Oblivious.
How can you people keep electing these fools?
She must think we all live in Orinda.
Given these inflationary times, now is not the best time to be giving away food. Especially, considering the majority of that food goes to illegal aliens.
They should have a food bank that requires proof of legal residency.
Are you kidding??!!
To ask for that verification amounts to “profiling” and next thing you see the ACLU and Burris and company will start screaming and hand wringing about exclusion of “people of color” crap!!!
@Concord74 Sounds like an awesome rickroll for a devious SOB.
“Food for Americans”
Put it on Monument Blvd. just for the extra kicks.
Enablers….
Give them free stuff & they will come…
what happened to the boxes of Mac and Cheese and cans of whatevers? They now want specific stuff? This is not a food drive. Otherwise they would be asking for rice and beans, and other staples that go a ways.
This is the elitist Orinda girl brain.
I grew up eating fried Spam and fried Oscar Mayer bologna. Total salt fest. I’m still here 60 years later.
Give them a case of Spam and see if they reject it.
