NorthStar Moving has teamed with Groundwork Coffee and Compass Real Estate for this year’s Let’s Send Hunger Packing Food Drive in partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to feed hungry children in Los Angeles County.
In the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second largest district in the nation, nearly 80% of children live in poverty and struggle with hunger. Now that it was just announced that LAUSD students will not be returning to classrooms this fall, combined with parents continuing to be unable to work due to COVID-19 closures, many families are in dire situations. Not only are children at home with parents working limited to no hours, but in a typical summer, many low-income children must work to help out their families. Those jobs have also mostly disappeared due to the COVID-19 crisis, making nutrition for kids and their families an even bigger challenge.
