Three-year-old Amir grabbed two apples from a volunteer at our Mobile Pantry – one for him and one for his cousin, Walter.
“I think it’s great that this food is available,” said Chris, Amir’s dad.
All the food Chris brings home ensures Amir and Walter, who is often at their house, have the nourishment and energy they need to learn, grow, and play.
Though Chris and his wife both work full-time, the high cost of living in the Bay Area makes it tough to afford even the basics.
