Message from Eashaan Sharma, son of Kingshuk Sharma and a member of UTSAV Youth Committee: I hope everyone is staying safe during these times of social distancing. My name is Eashan Sharma, and I am a senior at Mira Loma High School currently working alongside Showmen Talukder in hosting a Virtual Food Drive Fundraiser for the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS). During these unprecedented times, food insecurity has become ever more pressing in all communities and... has added to the already 215,000 people who have long been affected. To address this issue, we have decided to fundraise to help SFBFS work toward its missionto recognize and alleviate hunger in Sacramento by providing free meals and guiding affected individuals back to self-sufficiency. With your help, we can together work towards SFBFS’s mission in guiding our Greater Sacramento communities to a more prosperous and healthy future. Our team has decided to work toward our fundraising goal of $1000but we still have a lot of ground to cover. Although it may seem like a big goal, every little contribution can help us reach that goal. In fact, the SFBFS has stated that even $1 can provide 5 meals for a family. If you are interested in learning more about or helping us on our fundraising journey, you can find more information about the Virtual Food Drive in the link provided below: https://support.sacramentofoodbank.org/team/321793 I really appreciate your time, and I hope that this is something that you can consider. I’d love to talk about my fundraiser in more detail, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and contact us with the provided email listed below. Thank you and I hope you all have a great day!
