The California Association of Food Banks hosts a Legislative Day each year to allow members an opportunity to engage with their representatives on the issue of hunger. This year, Leg Day will be held on April 18th at the State Capital on the North lawn. The Produce Pack will be back this year, giving attendees the opportunity to bag up produce for local families to be later distributed by the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. CAFB has some support for travel scholarships- we want as many members to join as possible! If you are interested in travel support, please contact Rachel Tucker regarding that opportunity.
