Attendees include the Association\u2019s 41 food bank members as well as key allies and others committed to ending hunger.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger and nutrition pose a major threat to California\u2019s future. For the 5.4&nbsp;million Californians struggling with food insecurity, hard choices must be made between buying food and meeting such basic needs as housing, medicine, transportation, or childcare. When the resources of friends and family are depleted, struggling families must turn to the food safety net.<\/p>\n<p>California food banks provide healthy foods in a dignified setting to help people in need get back on their feet and provide for their families again.<\/p>\n<p><em>More information can be found about the event, including workshop descriptions, at cafoodbanks.org\/conference.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acerca de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Bancos de Alimentos de California:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La Asociaci\u00f3n de Bancos de Alimentos de California se asocia con 43 bancos de alimentos y m\u00e1s de 6,000 agencias locales.
