One of the largest food banks in the Inland Empire is receiving a donation from a Pasadena credit union.
Feeding America Riverside San Bernardino Counties is one of four Southern California food banks marked for a $45,0000 grant from Wescom Credit Union to help keep it afloat during the COVID-19 crisis, according to a statement.
“We know the COVID-19 pandemic is creating a particularly challenging time for everyone, and low-income individuals and families are especially hard hit,” said Melissa Pederson, Wescom’s senior vice president of administration, in the statement. “This grant support, provided by our employee-run foundation, will help local food banks continue to provide food and meals to those in need throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.”
