Heart of Compassion, a food bank in Montebello, California, received a similar donation last Wednesday of mixed produce from Taylor Farms. Eric Tietze, the organization’s founder, highlighted the increased demand as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. Before the pandemic, they distributed an average of 300,000 pounds of food per week; they now distribute over 800,000 pounds of food weekly. Heart of Compassion runs its own distribution network at a local high school and supplies smaller food banks throughout Southern California. Eric noted that the donations Heart of Compassion has received through The Farmlink Project are especially helpful because The Farmlink Project donates fresh produce as opposed to processed food. “By supplying the resources we need, you enable us to feed at Heart of Compassion [without] adding to the problem of hypertension [and] diabetes”—health conditions that often occur as a result of lack of access to healthful foods.
Children’s Hunger Fund (CHF) in Southern California and Texas received three donations of mixed greens in the past month totaling almost 50,000 pounds.

North State Food Bank received 16,500 pounds of mixed produce earlier this month. North State serves six counties across Northern California and reaches approximately 45,000 individuals monthly.
