Eureka Natural Foods and its customers raised $5,000 for Food for People through the Change 4 Change program, where the rounding up of a few cents on the dollar during checkout adds up to a huge difference in the lives of others.
"Within one week the community came together and raised $5,000 to help eliminate hunger and improve the health of the community," a press release from Eureka Natural Foods states. "This is the most amount that has been raised during a Change 4 Change. Currently as the world spins, this means more to Eureka Natural Foods and Food for People than ever. A rough year, but now the light we all have been waiting for. Seeing the community raise this amount during a time of need for all, it is truly a cherished moment."
Food for People works to alleviate local hunger and improve the health of the community through its 18 programs and strong community partnerships. The nonprofit distributes nearly 2 million pounds of food annually to the county’s most
vulnerable members.
