City of Alameda launches Feed Alameda campaign to feed our most vulnerable residents & support struggling local restaurants
|
As of January 11, 2021, the City of Alameda is launching Feed Alameda, a new campaign that expands on the faith-based Dine and Connect Program by feeding the most vulnerable members of our community while supporting local restaurants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. City funding will underwrite the first ten weeks of meals and a GoFundMe campaign will allow the community to extend this program through the difficult months ahead. Sponsors to date include the Alameda Rotary, Alameda Police Officers Association, Alameda Chamber of Commerce, and Alameda Firefighter’s Local 689. Many thanks to the Alameda Point Collaborative for being the fiscal sponsor of Feed Alameda. All donations are tax deductible. Link to community campaign: www.gofundme.com/f/feed-alameda |
Thank you for providing meals for Alameda’s most vulnerable families.
Between June 1 and September 15, 2020, CASA worked in partnership with Alameda’s All Good Living Foundation to safely distribute Alameda restaurant meals, purchased via CASA donations, to local families in need of support due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 100% of donations received were used to buy meals from local restaurants to feed children and families 2-3 times per week.
