SMUD Cares at the Fair Giving Monday Success
The second SMUD Cares at the Fair Giving Monday saw even more success than the first - 16,295 lbs. of food were collected. That makes a combined total of 28,867 lbs. “The 28,867 pounds of food donated will ensure the 5,700 food insecure neighbors we serve each month will have a meal during the summer. Our clients will benefit greatly, especially the children and the sharply growing number of seniors,” said Marie Jachino, Executive Director Elk Grove Food Bank. Thank you to all those who donated!
