Solano County Supervisor Monica Brown is graciously matching donations made to the Food Bank! From Supervisor Brown's last newsletter: In this trying time, many of our community members are struggling. Demand for services from our local food bank has soared during this difficult time. In two previous updates, I pledged to match all donations up to $2,000 to the food bank (the previously combined matches equaled $4,000). Because of the generosity of the people I represent,... we raised about $15,000 for the food bank. Because many of our neighbors are still struggling, I will again match all donations up to $2,000 to the food bank. To donate to the food bank, please visit: https://give.foodbankccs.org/profile/55348 To see where residents can get food from the food bank, please visit: https://www.foodbankccs.org/get-help/foodbycity.html
