Carlos, Community Partner, Salvation Army - Hemet
"The current situation with the economy, a lot of people who did not need assistance before are finding themselves needing to be dependent on different food pantries and programs, and so the need has increased triple in the two years that I have been here in this location. We really appreciate the partnership with you guys (FARSB) and what you do to be able to assist us in helping the community. A lot of what we do can’t be done without the help of other people."

"The box truck was donated to us from Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino has helped us a lot with our success. In our 2022 RAM, we are able to pick up meat. We are able to get more meat now. Because they donated to us and usually within five minutes, it has to be in a freezer. Now we can get it half an hour away and get it in the freezer."
