Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity that inspires millions to give, collaborate, and celebrate giving. As we approach the holiday season and the New Year, there is no better time to extend your compassion and support to families in the Coachella Valley experiencing food insecurity. By donating to ENCONTRAR Banco de Alimentos, you can make a direct impact in ensuring no one goes hungry in our community.
Why Support FIND Food Bank?
FIND Food Bank is the Desert’s Regional Food Bank, serving the Coachella Valley and surrounding desert areas. Each year, they distribute millions of pounds of food to families, seniors, and individuals in need.
