DetailsAutumn brings thoughts of cool crisp days, pumpkin patches, warm apple pie and harvest time. It also ushers in a season of gratitude and a time of reflection. Thinking about this past year at CSA and our Food & Nutrition Center (FNC), we want to take this opportunity to thank the many wonderful businesses and organizations we work with throughout the year who help to bring the harvest to our table. Our program served nearly 700,000 pounds of food to over 3,600 people in our community last year – a feat we could not have done by ourselves as it truly takes a village to care.
DetailsWe are delighted to honor Atlassian as one of our 2019 Hometown Heroes at our awards breakfast on Thursday, September 12 at the Computer History Museum. Pictured at left – Atlassian employees recently participated in a team-building event to create sculptures from 4,000 cans of food which were then donated to CSA.
DetailsMary is delighted to be selected as one of our three 2019 Hometown Heroes. “There are so many people who form the fabric of our community and make a difference in our daily lives who are struggling to get by. While we are beginning to address the issues of affordable housing, the reality is that progress is slow-going and a little bit at a time. I am so grateful for the work CSA does to support our neighbors in need.”
DetailsResults this year for the Challenge Diabetes Program funded by El Camino Hospital were fantastic! 23% of participants have maintained healthy status this year after starting the program in the diabetic or pre-diabetic ranges several years ago and an additional 21% of participants have moved to the healthy range JUST IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS! We are blown away by the outcomes in this program. To summarize, 44% of people who were previously pre-diabetic or diabetic are currently healthy!
DetailsWe have a unique canned food drive planned for the summer, a time of year when donations are historically low – a social media campaign designed to encourage everyone to bring at least one can of healthy food to their local food pantry.
