“Tons” of community impact from PHC staff service

In October, Physicians for a Healthy California (PHC) joined Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services to host its first quarterly volunteer activity, where a group of PHC staff sorted and boxed over 2 tons of food. The team's efficiency was so impressive that Team PHC had to take a break while they sourced more food for us to sort! A special thanks to our PHC staff that took time out of their day to show up and volunteered to make an impact in our community.
In addition to donating time, PHC contributed leftover supplies from last year’s volunteer event to the Food Bank's Refugee Resettlement Services program. This program has supported nearly 300 refugees from countries such as Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria and Iran over the past year. The supplies provided will be essential to helping these individuals from the moment they arrive in Sacramento.
