Happy National Farmers Day! Today, we celebrate the hardworking farmers who nourish our communities and make the Central Valley agriculturally rich. From the fields to our food bank and into the hands of families, we’re able to bring the best fruits and vegetables to neighbors thanks to the generosity and support of our farmers. Join us in thanking those who make it possible to provide healthy, fresh food to our community! ?? ?? ?? #NationalFarmersDay #FeedingCenCal #BetterTogether

Spent the day with our California State University, Fresno California Volunteers, Office of the Governor students volunteering with one of our Community Host Partners Central California Food Bank bagging bell peppers at their distribution center. A special thank you to Arthur Vital for giving us a tour of their Groceries 2 Go program! Having the students see the bell peppers they had just bagged as one of the items on the board for the pick up items going to our local families was nothing short of amazing. A lovely way to kick-off year 3 of Fresno States The Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning partnership with California Volunteers and local Community Benefitted Organizations. We are excited to see the continual impact our students will have in our local community that will have rippling effects for years to come. #servicelearning #hungerfighter #Foodinsecurity #nourishourneighboors #volunteer #prideofthevalley #heartofthevalley
