| Here's how we're supporting our community. |
| Responding to COVID-19 |
 |
| As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic together, one thing is clear: we'll be here to support our community for as long as we're needed. We've considerably ramped up our efforts to ensure our neighbors have access to food. Every day, we're building thousands of Emergency Food Bags and providing nourishing food to neighbors across the county. Read more about our efforts and know we're here to help. Visit our resource page in English and Spanish if you're in need of groceries or call our Helpline at (510) 635-3663. |

| Stepping up for our neighbors |
| Volunteers are playing a critical role in our efforts to get food into our community. We're grateful for the outpouring of support and interest in volunteering. If you are looking to help, visit our volunteer sign up page - please check back often as our needs are quickly changing. |

| Counting on our community |
| The Census is just weeks away, but you can be counted right now. You can respond by mail (once you receive your post card), by phone, and for the first time - online. While we're all practicing social distancing, you can still be counted. Learn why the Census is important for our community and how you can make a powerful policy impact. |

| An Important Update |
| Out of an abundance of caution, we've made the difficult decision to cancel Empty Bowls. Thank you for your understanding and support. Please check our website for other ways to get involved. |
 |
| Host a Virtual Food Drive |
| You can still gather your friends, family, and coworkers to support us during this time by hosting a Virtual Food Drive. Every $1 helps provide $7 worth of food. VFD is the perfect way to challenge your friends and help provide nourishing meals - without having to leave home. |
