Students from Paso Robles high school’s Justserve Club spent part of their Veterans Day assisting in unloading a truckload of donated food and household supplies at Cal Poly.
Volunteers carried more than 1,300 cases to pickup stations for about 20 food pantries and community organizations in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. This included rice, beans, pasta, diced tomatoes, peanut butter, jam, pancake and waffle mix, shampoo, and dishwasher detergent. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints donated about 40,000 pounds of food as part of its America 250 greater love effort.
The truck was emptied and back on the road within 46 minutes of arrival.
