Shortage of Holiday Meat for Sacramento Food Closets
Sacramento Emergency Foodlink is in need of Holiday Meat for Local Food Closets

November 18, 2009 Sacramento, CA – Local Food Closets and Agencies will be visiting Sacramento Emergency Foodlink (Foodlink) this Friday, November 20, 2009 to pick up their holiday meat. Sacramento agencies have submitted over 2,500 requests for holiday meat. Foodlink has enough holiday meat to fulfill 1,000 of these requests, leaving 1,500 recipients with no holiday meat.

We need your help! In response to the shortage, Sacramento Emergency Foodlink, the Official Food Bank of Sacramento County, will be collecting holiday meat donations through the end of the year to try to fulfill these requests. Any holiday meat, chickens, turkeys, and hams, can be donated at Foodlink located at 5800 Foodlink Street, Sacramento, CA 95828.

All donated holiday meat will be dispersed among the Food Closets throughout Sacramento County. The Food Closets and Agencies will then distribute the holiday meat to individuals in their communities.
