Knights Of Columbus Of Holy Trinity Church Collect Easter Hams For The Food Bank

The Knights of Columbus at Holy Trinity Church in El Dorado Hills have graciously hosted an Easter Ham Food Drive to benefit the Food Bank of El Dorado County. 

Holy Trinity’s Knights of Columbus collected almost 1,300 pounds of hams and more than $400 in financial donations to support the Food Bank.  

Their commitment to the community is an inspiration to others to join in the fight to end local hunger!

Mike Sproull, Food Bank Founder, said, “Knights of Columbus has proven to be a steward for the Food Bank and are committed to our at-risk population.”

Carey Fong, Food Bank Communications and Development Director commented, “The Food Bank is proud of its partnership with Holy Trinity’s Knights of Columbus.  They are dedicated to our community and have organized and implemented several successful food drives to benefit the Food Bank, we are grateful for their generosity and continued partnership.”

“The success of this food drive could not have been possible without the efforts of many people especially Pat Shields-Maher of the Holy Trinity’s Human Concerns ministry and, of course, the generosity of the Parishioners.  The Knights of Columbus are truly proud to be committed to continue efforts with the Food Bank to help in this extremely important issue of local hunger," Art Aguilar of the Knights of Columbus said.

If your family service organization, faith based group, school group and more would like to help, simply call the Food Bank of El Dorado County at (530) 621-9950 or email them at info@foodbankedc.org.  Together we can reach out to our neighbors who struggle to make ends meet.

Food Bank Of El Dorado County Partners Up To Help Those In Need

A few weeks ago Keith Turner Director, Public and Government Affairs, Safeway Inc. Northern California Safeway, contacted the Food bank of El Dorado County explaining that Safeway was holding a management meeting at Harvey’s and would be donating 750 bags of groceries that they wanted to give to local residents in need.

At the same time California Emergency Food Link offered to provide fresh produce and other food items to El Dorado County.  The El Dorado County Food Bank staff quickly identified South Lake Tahoe as a distribution point and contacted representatives from the local American Legion Hall.

The veterans offered a distribution location and it was on! A free farmers market was set up to provide food assistance to 250 families on June 26th.  Family Resource Center helped with volunteers and at the end of the day this unique partnership provided groceries and produce to 176 local families that were very appreciative.  One woman called the Food Bank immediately after the distribution and thanked staff explaining how bad the South Lake Tahoe area needs help and asked when the Food Bank would be back as the fresh produce is something they rarely see.

Look for the Food Banks new Mobile Pantry Outreach Unit to be visiting communities throughout El Dorado County.  Follow distributions and other pertinent information by checking them out on Facebook at here, calling 530-621-9950, or email info@foodbankedc.org. Together we can make a difference!
