Overheard on our Emergency Food Helpline from a long-time client with type 2 diabetes: “Thanks to the food that I get at the Food Bank, Ive been able to lower my blood sugar level. I get a lot of healthy food -- fruits and vegetables -- and that makes me feel healthier. Thank you for giving us those items. We really appreciate them.” Since 2011, weve been directing this client to our agency partners near her home -- Cornerstone, Oakland Catholic Worker, Colombian Gardens, among others -- to supplement her diet with fresh produce. Good news like this motivates us to continue not only fighting hunger, but also improving long-term health for our most vulnerable neighbors.
