East County Transitional Living Center, a nonprofit providing emergency housing, job training and other critical need services to combat homelessness, joined two other San Diego-area groups to stage a large-scale fruit and vegetable giveaway Feb. 13. The giveaway, at the center’s headquarters in El Cajon, distributed half of a 53- foot refrigerated trailer filled with fresh fruits and vegetables to families facing food insecurity,
“We want every family to have access to fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables regardless of their financial situation,” said Dr. Julie Hayden, executive director for East County Transitional Living Center in a press release.
ECTLC joined Bienestar is Wellbeing, a nonprofit food distributor, and Molina Healthcare, a multistate health care company, leading the giveaway. This event was free and open to the public.
