Food boxes were distributed by the Sacramento City Unified School District’s Nutrition Department to nine local schools.
“We did roughly 800 different units of apples, onions, we have potatoes and then a food bank box included as well,” said Supervisor Dave Lose.

Of the more than 45,000 students in Sac City Schools, the district says around 75% need this kind of help each year.
As community members collected their boxes, they expressed their gratitude. Others picked up for family members who couldn’t make it.
Feeding students and their families keeps everyone moving forward.
