Two more planned in Long Beach and Hawaiian Gardens

Wilmington, CA – Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn held a food giveaway event at LA Harbor College in Wilmington in which approximately 2,500 families received free groceries. This was the second of four massive food giveaways that Hahn is hosting in partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. Hahn’s office also partnered with the LA County Department of Public Social Services to promote the giveaway among its clients.

“It’s clear that so many people in our communities are hurting right now. I saw the need and my office moved quickly to get these events up and running, and the response has been incredible,” said Hahn, who helped hand the boxes of food out, along with several members of her staff. “Food is the most basic necessity, and no one should go hungry during this pause in federal food programs.”

The box of groceries that families received today included both fresh and non-perishable items, including oatmeal, rice, canned goods, beans, vegetables, fruit, pasta sauce, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, and a frozen chicken. There were no eligibility requirements to receive the food, and participants were not asked for identification.

Hahn held her first food giveaway in Pico Rivera on November 8. Her next giveaway, originally planned to be held this Friday, has been postponed due to rain to next Friday November 21 at the Long Beach City College Veterans Stadium. Hahn’s fourth giveaway will be held at the Fedde Sports Complex in Hawaiian Gardens on the 26th.
