Foodbank Implements Disaster Feeding Plan

How do you feed an entire county in a disaster situation, especially when it might not be safe to go outside?

By November 2019, the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County was already equipped to answer that question.

“Our mission is to ensure that everybody in the county of Santa Barbara has access to the healthy food they need,” said the organization’s marketing director, Judith Smith-Meyer. “We’re ready, and we have the relationships in place to help us do that.”
