La Verne: Sowing Seeds For Life’s 7th Annual Hearts To Fight Hunger

Press release from the La Verne Chamber of Commerce:

February 02, 2021

Hunger is devastating. It affects people emotionally, financially, physically, and educationally, and leaves those affected in trauma. In this month of showing love, Sowing Seeds for Life invites the community to join together and help those in need.

“Hearts to Fight Hunger is about so much more than just giving a person food. It is showing compassion in the most basic way possible,” says Director Fran Robertson. “Just $5.00 will give nearly 25 lbs. of food to a person or family living in hunger and will help them to eat for a week.”

Be a Valentine for someone struggling with hunger by sending a $5.00 donation to 1350 Arrow Hwy., La Verne, CA 91750, or donate online here.

About Sowing Seeds for Life

Sowing Seeds for Life is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in 2005. Its mission is to provide food for the hungry, respond to emergencies for those in need, and to eliminate hunger in the communities in which we serve.

From distribution to 100 families in December 2007, it now serves more than 7,000 people and families in the Los Angeles and Inland Valley area every month.

SSFL is a part of Feeding America, whose mission is “feeding America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks, and engaging our country in the fight to end hunger in our local communities.”

SSFL strives to not only help with immediate needs, but to begin a relationship encompassed in trust so we may help with other needs such as clothing, education, and housing.

Through the help of gracious donors from the community and beyond and with help from our amazing volunteers, SSFL distributes food regularly, every first and third Wednesday of each month.
