Help Team Wiener Get Food to the North Bay
We're all stunned by the catastrophe in the North Bay. Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Yuba, Solano, and other counties are in desperate condition. People are dying, people are missing, and thousands of homes have been obliterated. Our brave firefighters and first responders are doing everything they can to attack the fires and save lives and property.
We need to stand up and help our neighbors in need, and I have an easy way you can do so.
Between now and Tuesday, if you drop off bags or boxes of non-perishable food that is "ready to eat" and doesn't require cooking, my staff and I will get that food to the North Bay - specifically, to the Redwood Empire Food Bank in Sonoma County. This food bank badly needs food donations and also financial donations so that it can continue to deliver food to evacuation centers.
You can drop off food at any of the locations listed below at the end of this message through Tuesday, and my office will retrieve them. On Wednesday, my staff and I will bring the food up to Sonoma County. Thank you to Chariot and the Teamsters for driving us and the food and helping us get this done. Thanks as well to the community and labor organizations that are stepping up to receive these food donations at their facilities.
You can also bring bags of food to my district office (455 Golden Gate Suite 14800) during business hours.
These are desperate times in the North Bay, and once the fires are finally extinguished, we will have much work to do helping our neighbors recover. For now, as our firefighters and first responders do their life-saving work, we need to do our part.
I hope you can help. Thank you so much in advance.
