|

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. The rising cost of living, coupled with economic uncertainties, means that thousands of local residents rely on FIND’s services to put food on the table.

Your contribution helps FIND:

  • Provide Fresh, Nutritious Food: FIND distributes fresh produce, proteins, and pantry staples to local families.
  • Support Children in Need: Programs like Kids’ Summer Meals and Backpack programs ensure children have consistent access to meals outside of school.
  • Assist Seniors: Seniors often face unique challenges with food insecurity, and FIND offers targeted support to meet their needs.
  • Distribute Emergency Food Assistance: For families facing unexpected hardships, FIND provides critical support when it’s needed most.
