As soon as the first pandemic lockdowns were announced, they sprang into action, delivering food, medications, picking up mail and just about anything else needed by those who were immune-compromised, elderly or simply in need. They also provided subsidized and/or free food for people who were struggling with food insecurity. That work has continued, and they are out every week to ensure that people who need food in Chico don't go hungry.

“I was shocked at the huge need of food and supplies our unhoused community faced. I was admittedly naïve in thinking people were being adequately provided food in our community.”
