21 CA Food Banks That Would Love Your Donation
I like to donate to California food banks in honor of this California Eating project whenever I produce a print issue or have a little extra to spare because I know that even micro donations are matched through various sponsors. Take a look at how each of these food banks stretch a dollar — I hope it will motivate you to spread a little financial love in a region that means something to you.
