Earlier this week, the California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) hosted our annual Capitol Action Day in Sacramento \u2014 a powerful day of advocacy, action, and community. Food bank staff from across the state joined CAFB staff at the Capitol to meet with legislators and push for effective, urgent investments to end hunger in California. This year\u2019s Capitol Action Day brought together 42 staff from 25 food banks<\/strong>, joining forces with our team to hold more than 70 meetings with state legislators and their staff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
