US: Ag against hunger distributes 1 billion servings of fresh food
The increase in donations allowed Ag Against Hunger to add five new food banks to its distribution program. This resulted in helping to feed more than 3 million people on the West Coast.Among the recipients of the donated food are the Monterey County Food Bank, Food Bank of San Benito County, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County and the California Grey Bears in Santa Cruz.
These food banks feed more than 158,500 people every year, the organisation said. Since its founding 22 years ago, Ag Against Hunger has distributed nearly 200 million pounds of produce — almost 1 billion servings of fruits and vegetables to people in need.
