TCV MOBILE FOOD PANTRY
ON THE ROAD AND FEEDING THE NEED
TCV FOOD BANK (TRI-CITY VOLUNTEERS) has taken their show on the road with their Mobile Food Pantry, providing emergency grocery assistance to the Tri-City area. “The mission of the TCV Mobile Food Pantry is aligned with the mission of TCV Food Bank: To end hunger, one nutritious meal at a time”, said Taylor Johnson, TCV Food Bank and Thrift Store Executive Director. He added, “The statement on the side of our van echoes that sentiment with, Reaching Hunger Where It Lives”. The idea for a Mobile Food Pantry was born from the simple need to provide for those, particularly seniors, who could not travel to the Food Bank on Joseph Street. Every second and fourth Thursday of the month at 1.30pm — the bright green van pulls up outside FSC. Volunteers help unload and set up the produce “farmer’s market” style with a variety of fresh produce, baked goods, cereals and protein. Anyone with a need for food is welcome to attend — there is no registration or requirements to qualify. For more information about TCV Mobile Pantry contact Taylor Johnson at 510.598.4067.

LAST MONTH IN PICTURES
FREMONT GIVES Support Nutritious Meals for Seniors in need! Having access to or being able to afford a nutritious meal is something so many of us take for granted. But for seniors who are low-income, have no income, or are homeless, this fundamental need is a daily crisis. In addition to the great work of Tri-City Volunteers
highlighted in this issue, our Senior Center plays a role too. With the support of generous donors like you, needy seniors can access sponsored hot prepared meals at our Senior Center. Please donate online at www.fremont.gov/seniorcenter, or contact John Nguyen-Cleary at 510.574.2049 or jnguyen-cleary@
fremont.gov to discuss other giving opportunities. Another way people give to the FSC is by donating their time. Last year 21,711 hours were donated to the senior center, for a cost savings of $571,650 if we used the rate of $26.33 per hour which is set by sites like Center for Volunteer and Non Profit Leadership.
SPONSOR A MONTH’S ISSUE OF THE POPULAR AGE-FRIENDLY FREMONT TODAY! Reach thousands of adults 55 and older along with community members and show them you support a vibrant active center and increase your business. If your agency would like to sponsor an edition of Age–Friendly Fremont, please contact Aisha Jasper, Senior Center Manager, at 510.790.6606 or ajasper@fremont.gov Thank you Bay Central Printing for giving the FSC a discount on this publication.
