Central Coast Funds for Children
The Food Bank was awarded a $3,000 grant to expand our Lovin' Lunchbox program to eight sites in 2012 by the members of Central Coast Funds for Children. The lunchbox program which began in 2011, provides children who receive free or reduced lunch during the school year with free, nutritious meals and snacks during the summer months. Thank you for helping us provide food to SLO County's struggling children.
