Concord Community Food Drive
The season of giving is here, and the Concord Chamber is partnering with the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano again this year to host a community wide food drive. In 2020, the Food Bank saw a record number of people turning to them for help, providing food for 100,000 more people every month.
Pre-Pandemic, the Chamber hosted annual mixers at the Food Bank in November, bringing members to help sort food for distribution through the holidays. Unfortunately, due to the Pandemic, the Chamber put a pause on bringing members together to sort food to ensure the safety of all. This did not stop the Chamber from shifting how members can still give back. In 2020, the Chamber partnered with a handful of local businesses to host food collection barrels on behalf of the Food Bank. Since then, the Chamber opened up participation to all businesses, and has grown to over 50 partners!
2021 results - 4,294 pounds of food = 3,578 meals
