92130 Cares volunteers and Solana Pacific School students hold fresh food distribution event

On Sunday, Oct. 2, 4th graders from Solana Pacific School joined the veteran volunteers of 92130 Cares to set up a fresh food distribution event at Windwood Village apartment complex.

Over 20 Sandpipers and their family members tackled all aspects from set-up to clean-up, smiling all the while. They even carried the groceries to some of the shoppers’ front porches. “The happy and speedy energy of these hardworking students was just what we need! We need more of it!” said Cheryl Hsu, 92130 Cares founder. Never underestimate what a flock of local students can accomplish in two hours.

On a weekly basis, 92130 Cares volunteers pick up donated food from Grocery Outlet Mira Mesa, Whole Foods La Jolla, Whole Foods Del Mar, Jimbo’s Carmel Valley and Trader Joe’s Pacific Highlands Ranch. They quickly set up tables and shade to display the food like a gorgeous farmers’ market. Guests from the hosting residential complex, as well as anywhere nearby, are invited to take what they need to put healthy food in their homes for their families and neighbors.
