Allgire Foundation

As the vibrant colors of spring emerge, it's a timely reminder of the importance of nourishing our bodies with fresh fruits and vegetables. Incorporating at least five portions of these nutrient-rich foods daily can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent certain types of cancer, and improve digestive health.???? However, millions still face food insecurity, lacking access to sufficient nutritious food. In 2023, 13.5% of U.S. households were food insecure, affecting approximately 18 million households. At the Allgire Foundation, we believe access to fresh, healthy food shouldn’t be a privilege—it should be a right. That’s why every year, our Spring Harvest event brings together our teams and volunteers to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to affordable housing communities in San Diego, ensuring families have the nutrition they need to thrive. This National Nutrition Month, let's come together to support local initiatives and ensure everyone can enjoy eating healthier this season.

One year later, the impact of the Village Green floods is still felt—but so is the strength of its community. Earlier this month, we returned to mark the one-year anniversary and provide Walmart gift cards as a small way to continue supporting residents who have faced so much. It’s a reminder that resilience isn’t just about rebuilding—it’s about knowing you’re not in it alone. Here’s to ongoing support, long-term solutions, and always showing up when it matters. ???? #CommunitySupport #StrongerTogether
