Through November, FIND’s 45 Community Mobile Markets<\/strong> offered chicken paired with Thanksgiving side dishes, including corn, potatoes, broccoli, gravy, stuffing, and even pies.
These days even some working adults can’t afford as much food at the grocery store due to the 40% increase in transportation costs <\/strong>and the 13% increase in the price of meat, fish, poultry, and eggs.
Families facing food insecurity reported needing $44 more each month to cover food expenses. To meet that need, FIND provides approximately $50 worth of groceries<\/strong> at each of our monthly Mobile Market locations spread across the Coachella Valley and Hi-Desert.
Help FIND transform your gift of $25 into 100 meals for those facing food insecurity.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
