A week-long virtual food drive led by our Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice raised $15,855 for the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Coordinated by Executive Director Savala Nolan ’11 (pictured), the effort was launched in response to the government shutdown reducing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding. It supplied over 3,200 bags of highly-requested perishable food items to local people impacted by SNAP cuts. A few faculty members matched $500 in donations to help the one in eight local residents who rely on SNAP, 40% of whom are children.
