Brothers of the Desert has partnered with Social Cafe and Play Lounge in Palm Springs to collect non-perishable food for our local Community Food Bank at the Center.
Did you know?
One in seven Coachella Valley adults has had to cut the size of meals or skip meals because they couldn’t afford food, according to a 2022 HARC survey. That equates to 48,670 food-insecure residents.
The Center’s Community Food Bank provides fresh and free food through its weekly distribution, including produce, protein, dairy, baked goods, and pantry items to food-insecure community members.
The Community Food Bank serves anyone experiencing food insecurity, not only the LGBTQ+ population.
The community supports the food bank through volunteering and donations of cash and food. Last year, the community donated more than 64,000 pounds of food to the Community Food Bank!
The Center’s Community Food Bank serves more than 500 households each week, representing over 1,200 people. In the past year, the Community Food Bank served nearly 16,000 households, representing over 35,000 individuals.
Beyond food, recipients gain improved health and well-being through a better diet and personalized referrals to additional services that move individuals and families toward greater stability.
