The Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley put on a food giveaway at Fountain Valley Recreation Center and Sports Park to help out families in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
Leaving the house for the grocery store could be considered a risky activity. Affording groceries has also become an issue for some who have been unable to work due to the pandemic.
Fountain Valley Mayor Cheryl Brothers was among a group of about 75 staff members and volunteers who helped distribute the food. Boxes of groceries containing 30 to 40 pounds of dairy products and produce were put in the trunks of cars for contactless delivery.“In Fountain Valley, getting volunteers to come and help with an event like this is never a problem,” Brothers said. “We always have volunteers. In that regard, we’re a very generous community.
Laura Garcia, 22, of Midway City said she lost her job at a restaurant in Seal Beach because of the pandemic, and she appreciated the community coming together to help those in need. “People are really the most excited about the quality of the food because the USDA’s program allows us to bring in fresh produce and dairy,” said Jane Cowan of Worldwide Produce. “That helps our farmers that were having to waste quite a bit, but also, people are getting grocery-store or restaurant-quality produce and dairy, where as normally, a bulk donation is items that can no longer be sold.
