Beginning Monday, May 11, The Central Coast Labor Council, in partnership with the California Labor Federation, the California Works Foundation and Food Share of Ventura County, will be opening a weekly food distribution center at the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 12 in Ventura.
Due to Covid-19, many workers in our community are struggling. In wake of the pandemic and the shutdowns that followed, over 56,000 working people in Ventura County applied for unemployment, and while that number in itself is astronomical, it doesn’t include people that aren’t able to receive benefits.
As this pandemic continues on and the economic crisis deepens, more and more of our members, family members and neighbors will be feeling pressure of food insecurity. Now is the time to do the necessary outreach to our members, families and community to let them know that we're here to help.
We're going to need some major volunteer help to complete this mission!! If you want to help out, CLICK HERE
