SEE-LA is urgently focusing on food access in South LA, which has deteriorated substantially with empty store shelves in many neighborhoods and the closure of SEE-LA’s weekly certified farmers’ markets in Willowbrook and Crenshaw (closed by their host sites due to the outbreak). 

Donations will be used to increase CalFresh/EBT and WIC benefit matching at our Central Avenue market, donate tens of thousands of fresh farm boxes to families in public housing and facing loss of service jobs, and collaborate with direct service agencies to feed their clients facing food insecurity. These efforts will of course help many of the family farms in our network that are also struggling to stay afloat.
