VENTURA — In response to the recent fires and ongoing Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events affecting Ventura County, Food Share is supporting four emergency food distributions to help our community. These events will provide essential food supplies to families and individuals facing immediate hardship due to evacuations, power outages, and displacement.
Monica White, President and CEO of Food Share of Ventura County, highlighted the organization’s commitment to crisis response: “Hunger is an ongoing disaster that we address daily. We are equally prepared to support our neighbors through these emergency events, ensuring they can access essential food resources when needed most.”
